In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, כון appears 534,316 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 546,218, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which כון appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 10:7, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), כון is found 8,344,835 times; chance alone would give about 8,466,141.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 546,218 of it, so a large count is expected.
