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 עמי, and בן has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, עמי appears 937,482 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 942,521, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which עמי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:22, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), עמי is found 14,665,162 times; chance alone would give about 14,608,660.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 942,521 of it, so a large count is expected.
