In the Torah

Across every skip (2–152,424), סיף appears 436,203 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 455,841, so the count is in line with chance.

The shortest skip at which סיף appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 24:65, reading forward.

The longest skip at which סיף was found in the Torah is 151,882 — at Deuteronomy 33:21, 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 455,841 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range

5 of the 436,203 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.
