In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, אחר appears 365,912 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 373,104, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which אחר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 10:26, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), אחר is found 6,031,986 times; chance alone would give about 5,782,951.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 373,104 of it, so a large count is expected.
