In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for ביל, and גייטס has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, ביל appears 1,183,711 times in the Torah — 0.5% more than the 1,177,261 chance alone would give; the probability of 1,183,711 or more by chance alone is 1.4 × 10⁻⁹.
The shortest skip at which ביל appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 7:4, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ביל is found 17,509,893 times; chance alone would give about 18,247,034.
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.
