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: 95,111 found · chance alone about 95,930 (probability of 95,111 or more by chance alone: 1.00).
In the Torah
Across every skip (2–101,616), תורה appears 965,907 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 999,576, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which תורה appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 7:11, reading forward.
The longest skip at which תורה was found in the Torah is 101,467 — at Deuteronomy 34:4, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 965,907 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.
