In the Torah
Across every skip (2–101,616), סלים appears 107,755 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 112,276, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which סלים appears in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 5:4, reading forward.
The longest skip at which סלים was found in the Torah is 101,014 — at Deuteronomy 34:1, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 107,755 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.
