In the Torah

The Torah holds 100,517 sequences of בסי at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 100,043).

The shortest skip at which בסי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 42:25, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), בסי is found 1,638,543 times; chance alone would give about 1,550,617.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 100,043 of it, so a large count is expected.

  • Exodus 19,128
