In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, קונגרס appears twice in the Torah, above the count chance alone would give (about 0.52); 2 or more arises by chance alone with probability 0.10.
The shortest skip at which קונגרס appears in the Torah is 1,954 — the first at Leviticus 8:13, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–60,969), קונגרס is found 6 times; chance alone would give about 3.3.
