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: 3,185 found · chance alone about 2,921 (probability of 3,185 or more by chance alone: 7.7 × 10⁻⁷).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 34,341 sequences of ופסי across every skip (2–101,616), 13% above what chance alone gives (about 30,437); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 8.1 × 10⁻¹⁰⁷ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 5 — at Exodus 19:2, reading backward.
The longest skip at which ופסי was found in the Torah is 100,992 — at Genesis 1:3, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 34,341 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.
