In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, בען appears 277,620 times in the Torah — 1.0% more than the 274,861 chance alone would give; the probability of 277,620 or more by chance alone is 7.4 × 10⁻⁸.
The shortest skip at which בען appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 16:6, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), בען is found 4,345,875 times; chance alone would give about 4,260,219.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 274,861 of it, so a large count is expected.
