Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 4 letters (2–101,616), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 7,388 found · chance alone about 7,587 (probability of 7,388 or more by chance alone: 0.99).

In the Torah

Across every skip (2–101,616), טלית appears 75,904 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 79,055, so the count is in line with chance.

The shortest skip at which טלית appears in the Torah is 2 — at Deuteronomy 28:13, reading backward.

The longest skip at which טלית was found in the Torah is 101,487 — at Genesis 1:4, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

By book (where the first letter stands) · every skip

  • Genesis 12,847
  • Exodus 14,273
  • Leviticus 20,355

Examples across the range

5 of the 75,904 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.
