In the Torah

The Torah holds 2,642 sequences of נפתוח across every skip (2–76,212), 12% above what chance alone gives (about 2,360); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 6.3 × 10⁻⁹ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 35 — at Leviticus 8:17, reading backward.

The longest skip at which נפתוח was found in the Torah is 75,307 — at Genesis 1:15, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range

5 of the 2,642 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.
