In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, בנו appears 750,636 times in the Torah — 0.6% more than the 745,984 chance alone would give; the probability of 750,636 or more by chance alone is 3.7 × 10⁻⁸.
The shortest skip at which בנו appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:15, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), בנו is found 11,652,822 times; chance alone would give about 11,562,423.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 745,984 of it, so a large count is expected.
