In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, בול appears 1,139,617 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,139,096, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:22, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 17,415,964 sequences of בול, against about 17,655,491 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,139,096 of it, so a large count is expected.
