In the Torah
The Torah holds 588,350 sequences of מבשם across every skip (2–101,616), 2.2% above what chance alone gives (about 575,526); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 6.1 × 10⁻⁶⁴ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 10:11, reading forward.
The longest skip at which מבשם was found in the Torah is 101,581 — at Deuteronomy 34:12, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 588,350 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.
