In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, בטן appears 45,117 times in the Torah — 2.4% more than the 44,075 chance alone would give; the probability of 45,117 or more by chance alone is 3.9 × 10⁻⁷.
The shortest skip at which בטן appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:31, reading backward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), בטן is found 809,140 times; chance alone would give about 683,150.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 44,075 of it, so a large count is expected.
