In the Torah
The Torah holds 25,777 sequences of רוחמה across every skip (2–76,212), 4.3% above what chance alone gives (about 24,711); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 8.4 × 10⁻¹² by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 3 — at Exodus 25:31, reading forward.
The longest skip at which רוחמה was found in the Torah is 76,066 — at Genesis 1:7, reading forward; a spelling of 5 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 76,212.

Examples across the range
5 of the 25,777 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.
