In the Torah

The Torah holds 2,038 sequences of שוודיה across every skip (2–60,969) — about what chance alone gives (about 2,096).

The shortest skip at which שוודיה appears in the Torah is 7 — at Numbers 14:45, reading forward.

The longest skip at which שוודיה was found in the Torah is 59,672 — at Deuteronomy 33:14, reading backward; a spelling of 6 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 60,969.

Examples across the range

5 of the 2,038 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.
