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 ברק, and אובמה has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
146,585 sequences of ברק at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 147,182 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 29:12, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 2,229,824 sequences of ברק, against about 2,281,255 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 147,182 of it, so a large count is expected.
