In the Torah

A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for מלכי, and צדק has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

689,717 sequences of מלכי across every skip (2–101,616) in the Torah, close to the 733,074 that chance alone would produce.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 15:5, reading forward.

The longest skip at which מלכי was found in the Torah is 101,549 — at Genesis 1:4, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 689,717 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.
