In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, בער appears 353,611 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 352,672, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 10:11, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 5,568,323 sequences of בער, against about 5,466,265 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 352,672 of it, so a large count is expected.
