In the Torah
The Torah holds 507,405 sequences of ילד at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 506,485).
The shortest skip at which ילד appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:21, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ילד is found 7,758,889 times; chance alone would give about 7,850,299.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 506,485 of it, so a large count is expected.
