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: 7,618 found · chance alone about 7,593 (probability of 7,618 or more by chance alone: 0.39).
In the Torah
The Torah holds 76,903 sequences of צדים across every skip (2–101,616) — about what chance alone gives (about 79,117).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 4 — at Leviticus 11:46, reading forward.
The longest skip at which צדים was found in the Torah is 101,398 — at Genesis 1:10, reading forward; a spelling of 4 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 101,616.

Examples across the range
5 of the 76,903 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.
