In the Torah
Across every skip (2–76,212), מנורה appears 48,118 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 48,556, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which מנורה appears in the Torah is 2 — at Numbers 11:26, reading forward.
The longest skip at which מנורה was found in the Torah is 75,868 — at Genesis 1:13, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 48,118 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.
