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: 188,416 found · chance alone about 184,387 (probability of 188,416 or more by chance alone: 4.4 × 10⁻²¹).
In the Torah
2,808,333 sequences of ג׳או across every skip (2–152,424) in the Torah, close to the 2,857,914 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which ג׳או appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 31:15, reading forward.
The longest skip at which ג׳או was found in the Torah is 152,222 — at Deuteronomy 34:12, reading backward; 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 2,857,914 of it, so a large count is expected.

Examples across the range
5 of the 2,808,333 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.
