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 ארון, and הברית has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 73,781 sequences of ארון at skips 2–5,000, 1.3% above what chance alone gives (about 72,816); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00018 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 15:12, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 101,616, the Torah holds 740,059 sequences of ארון, against about 758,731 from chance alone.

- Exodus 13,565
