Yael (Jael · יעל)
Yael (Jael · יעל) is a person named in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Yael (Jael) is found 12,779,560 times across every skip (2–152,424), the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 3:5) — 1.8% above the 12,559,139 chance alone would give (probability of 12,779,560 or more by chance alone: below 10⁻³⁰⁰).

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: 805,895 found · chance alone about 810,290 (probability of 805,895 or more by chance alone: 1.00).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 12,779,560 sequences of יעל across every skip (2–152,424), 1.8% above what chance alone gives (about 12,559,139); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of below 10⁻³⁰⁰ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 3:5, reading forward.
The longest skip at which יעל was found in the Torah is 152,374 — at Genesis 1:1, reading forward; 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 12,559,139 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 12,779,560 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.
