Chabad חבד
Chabad — in Hebrew חבד — the Chabad-Lubavitch Chassidic movement. In the Torah codes, Chabad is found 88,101 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 6:3) — 0.8% above the 87,436 chance alone would give (probability of 88,101 or more by chance alone: 0.01).

In the Torah
The Torah holds 88,101 sequences of חבד at skips 2–5,000, 0.8% above what chance alone gives (about 87,436); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.01 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 6:3, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,342,020 sequences of חבד, against about 1,355,213 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 87,436 of it, so a large count is expected.

כִּי אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה הָלְכוּ בְנֵֽי־יִשְׂרָאֵל בַּמִּדְבָּר עַד־תֹּם כָּל־הַגּוֹי אַנְשֵׁי הַמִּלְחָמָה הַיֹּצְאִים מִמִּצְרַיִם אֲשֶׁר לֹֽא־שָׁמְעוּ בְּקוֹל יְהוָה אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה לָהֶם לְבִלְתִּי הַרְאוֹתָם אֶת־הָאָרֶץ אֲשֶׁר נִשְׁבַּע יְהוָה לַֽאֲבוֹתָם לָתֶת לָנוּ אֶרֶץ זָבַת חָלָב וּדְבָֽשׁ
For the children of Israel walked forty years in the wilderness, till all the nation, even the men of war that came forth out of Egypt, were consumed, because they hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD; unto whom the LORD swore that He would not let them see the land which the LORD swore unto their fathers that He would give us, a land flowing with milk and honey.

And it came to pass, when Israel had made an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the field, even in the wilderness wherein they pursued them, and they were all fallen by the edge of the sword, until they were consumed, that all Israel returned unto Ai, and smote it with the edge of the sword.
