In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, בוז appears 114,633 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 116,075, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 46:1, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,771,295 sequences of בוז, against about 1,799,108 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 116,075 of it, so a large count is expected.
