Every skip the Torah allows for a spelling of 3 letters (2–152,424), both directions, final letters folded, the written text.
At the laboratory's default range, skips 2–5,000: 23,073 found · chance alone about 22,431 (probability of 23,073 or more by chance alone: 1.0 × 10⁻⁵).

In the Torah

343,771 sequences of טבח across every skip (2–152,424) in the Torah, close to the 347,668 that chance alone would produce.

The shortest skip at which טבח appears in the Torah is 3 — at Deuteronomy 19:15, reading forward.

The longest skip at which טבח was found in the Torah is 151,924 — at Deuteronomy 33:28, 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 347,668 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range

5 of the 343,771 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.
