Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 4 letters (2–101,616), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 29,529 found · chance alone about 29,476 (probability of 29,529 or more by chance alone: 0.38).
In the Torah
300,347 sequences of פלוא across every skip (2–101,616) in the Torah, close to the 307,139 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which פלוא appears in the Torah is 2 — at Leviticus 5:24, reading forward.
The longest skip at which פלוא was found in the Torah is 101,439 — at Genesis 1:2, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 300,347 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.
