In the Torah
The Torah holds 1,183,711 sequences of ביל at skips 2–5,000, 0.5% above what chance alone gives (about 1,177,261); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.4 × 10⁻⁹ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 7:4, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 17,509,893 sequences of ביל, against about 18,247,034 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,177,261 of it, so a large count is expected.
