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: 18,261 found · chance alone about 17,603 (probability of 18,261 or more by chance alone: 4.2 × 10⁻⁷).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 193,134 sequences of תחנה across every skip (2–101,616), 5.3% above what chance alone gives (about 183,424); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 3.6 × 10⁻¹¹² by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Exodus 7:9, reading backward.
The longest skip at which תחנה was found in the Torah is 101,429 — at Deuteronomy 34:8, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 193,134 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.
