In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, כוב appears 632,805 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 632,021, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which כוב appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 10:10, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), כוב is found 9,652,569 times; chance alone would give about 9,796,056.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 632,021 of it, so a large count is expected.
