Bebai בבי
Bebai (בבי) is a person named in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Bebai is found 904,037 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 15:15) — 1.3% above the 892,088 chance alone would give (probability of 904,037 or more by chance alone: 7.9 × 10⁻³⁷).

In the Torah
The Torah holds 904,037 sequences of בבי at skips 2–5,000, 1.3% above what chance alone gives (about 892,088); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 7.9 × 10⁻³⁷ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 15:15, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 13,725,020 sequences of בבי, against about 13,826,971 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 892,088 of it, so a large count is expected.
