In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), רמת appears 13,477,671 times in the Torah — 0.7% more than the 13,388,083 chance alone would give; the probability of 13,477,671 or more by chance alone is 2.1 × 10⁻¹³².
The shortest skip at which רמת appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 12:14, reading forward.
The longest skip at which רמת was found in the Torah is 152,382 — at Genesis 1:1, 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 13,388,083 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 13,477,671 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.
