In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, בצר appears 125,465 times in the Torah — 1.0% more than the 124,203 chance alone would give; the probability of 125,465 or more by chance alone is 0.00018.
The shortest skip at which בצר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 19:23, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), בצר is found 1,830,649 times; chance alone would give about 1,925,097.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 124,203 of it, so a large count is expected.
