Across every skip (2–101,616), מידד appears 137,360 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 140,422, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 3 — at Exodus 30:29, reading forward.
The longest skip at which מידד was found in the Torah is 101,495 — at Genesis 1:8, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 137,360 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.
Under each example, every letter of the sequence is listed with the verse it stands in. A letter falls in its verse by position alone — one letter every so many letters of the text — so the verses are where the letters stand, not part of the sequence's meaning.
