In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, אדם appears 504,798 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 505,200, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:22, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 7,788,563 sequences of אדם, against about 7,830,375 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 505,200 of it, so a large count is expected.
