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: 66,580 found · chance alone about 66,679 (probability of 66,580 or more by chance alone: 0.65).
In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for יחיא, and סינוואר has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 698,127 sequences of יחיא across every skip (2–101,616), 0.5% above what chance alone gives (about 694,790); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 3.2 × 10⁻⁵ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 9:18, reading forward.
The longest skip at which יחיא was found in the Torah is 101,508 — at Deuteronomy 34:9, reading backward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 698,127 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.
