Redeemer — in Hebrew גאל — redeemer, kinsman who redeems. Redeemer appears 1,981,450 times as a letter sequence in the Torah across every skip (2–152,424), in line with the 2,018,970 chance alone would give.

Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 131,587 found · chance alone about 130,260 (probability of 131,587 or more by chance alone: 0.00012).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–152,424), גאל appears 1,981,450 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 2,018,970, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 2:16, reading forward.
The longest skip at which גאל was found in the Torah is 152,210 — at Deuteronomy 34:6, 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 2,018,970 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 1,981,450 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.
