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 הדד, and בן has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 146,534 sequences of הדד at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 146,799).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 49:18, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 2,264,962 sequences of הדד, against about 2,275,324 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 146,799 of it, so a large count is expected.
