In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, פצץ appears 8,374 times in the Torah — 4.9% more than the 7,981 chance alone would give; the probability of 8,374 or more by chance alone is 6.6 × 10⁻⁶.
The shortest skip at which פצץ appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 46:12, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), פצץ is found 118,986 times; chance alone would give about 123,708.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 7,981 of it, so a large count is expected.
