In the Torah
The Torah holds 28,488 sequences of רבלתה across every skip (2–76,212) — about what chance alone gives (about 28,396).
The shortest skip at which רבלתה appears in the Torah is 5 — at Exodus 32:13, reading backward.
The longest skip at which רבלתה was found in the Torah is 75,870 — at Genesis 1:22, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 28,488 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.
