In the Torah

165 sequences of מוזיקה across every skip (2–60,969) in the Torah, close to the 162 that chance alone would produce.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 12 — at Leviticus 27:28, reading forward.

The longest skip at which מוזיקה was found in the Torah is 55,287 — at Genesis 13:4, reading forward; a spelling of 6 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 60,969.

Examples across the range

5 of the 165 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.
