In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, תש״ב appears 489,943 times in the Torah — 1.2% more than the 484,162 chance alone would give; the probability of 489,943 or more by chance alone is 5.6 × 10⁻¹⁷.
The shortest skip at which תש״ב appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 4:7, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), תש״ב is found 7,778,291 times; chance alone would give about 7,504,297.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 484,162 of it, so a large count is expected.
