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 כלב, and אפרתה has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 451,316 sequences of כלב at skips 2–5,000, 1.1% above what chance alone gives (about 446,491); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 2.8 × 10⁻¹³ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 17:22, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 6,877,965 sequences of כלב, against about 6,920,411 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 446,491 of it, so a large count is expected.
