In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, כור appears 702,244 times in the Torah — 0.2% more than the 700,849 chance alone would give; the probability of 702,244 or more by chance alone is 0.05.
The shortest skip at which כור appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:30, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), כור is found 10,709,125 times; chance alone would give about 10,862,864.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 700,849 of it, so a large count is expected.
