In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, ברי appears 994,313 times in the Torah — 0.5% more than the 989,238 chance alone would give; the probability of 994,313 or more by chance alone is 1.7 × 10⁻⁷.

The shortest skip at which ברי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 6:9, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ברי is found 14,986,921 times; chance alone would give about 15,332,753.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 989,238 of it, so a large count is expected.
