Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 750,796 found · chance alone about 745,984 (probability of 750,796 or more by chance alone: 1.3 × 10⁻⁸).
In the Torah
11,462,786 sequences of נבו across every skip (2–152,424) in the Torah, close to the 11,562,423 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which נבו appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 7:1, reading forward.
The longest skip at which נבו was found in the Torah is 152,306 — at Genesis 1:2, reading forward; a spelling of 3 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 152,424.
A three-letter spelling is common across every skip (2–152,424): in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 11,562,423 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 11,462,786 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.
