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: 194,020 found · chance alone about 193,580 (probability of 194,020 or more by chance alone: 0.16).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 1,976,932 sequences of אולי across every skip (2–101,616) — about what chance alone gives (about 2,017,079).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 5:24, reading forward.
The longest skip at which אולי was found in the Torah is 101,519 — at Deuteronomy 34:7, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 1,976,932 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.
