In the Torah
The Torah holds 5,055 sequences of פדהאל across every skip (2–76,212), 3.5% above what chance alone gives (about 4,882); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0071 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 8 — at Exodus 38:27, reading forward.
The longest skip at which פדהאל was found in the Torah is 75,495 — at Genesis 2:20, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 5,055 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.
