In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), רקל appears 3,153,768 times in the Torah — 4.8% more than the 3,010,503 chance alone would give; the probability of 3,153,768 or more by chance alone is below 10⁻³⁰⁰.
The shortest skip at which רקל appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 24:51, reading forward.
The longest skip at which רקל was found in the Torah is 152,360 — at Deuteronomy 34:12, reading backward; 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 3,010,503 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 3,153,768 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.
