In the Torah

Across every skip (2–101,616), פערי appears 111,835 times in the Torah — 0.9% more than the 110,892 chance alone would give; the probability of 111,835 or more by chance alone is 0.0023.

The shortest skip at which פערי appears in the Torah is 3 — at Exodus 29:24, reading backward.

The longest skip at which פערי was found in the Torah is 101,360 — at Deuteronomy 34:5, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

By book (where the first letter stands) · every skip

  • Genesis 28,481
  • Exodus 23,538
  • Leviticus 16,520
  • Numbers 27,813
  • Deuteronomy 15,483

Examples across the range

5 of the 111,835 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.
