In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for המגילות, and הגנוזות has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
5 sequences of המגילות at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 6.6 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 295 — the first at Leviticus 13:55, reading backward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 50,808, the Torah holds 36 sequences of המגילות, against about 35.1 from chance alone.
