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 עבד, and נגו has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 136,538 sequences of עבד at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 136,827).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 28:20, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 2,098,984 sequences of עבד, against about 2,120,760 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 136,827 of it, so a large count is expected.
