In the Torah

Across every skip (2–101,616), סופי appears 31,918 times in the Torah — 4.9% more than the 30,437 chance alone would give; the probability of 31,918 or more by chance alone is 1.9 × 10⁻¹⁷.

The shortest skip at which סופי appears in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 38:17, reading forward.

The longest skip at which סופי was found in the Torah is 100,441 — at Deuteronomy 34:7, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range

5 of the 31,918 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.
