In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, איב appears 1,491,926 times in the Torah — 1.0% more than the 1,476,897 chance alone would give; the probability of 1,491,926 or more by chance alone is 2.6 × 10⁻³⁵.

The shortest skip at which איב appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:1, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), איב is found 22,043,811 times; chance alone would give about 22,891,272.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,476,897 of it, so a large count is expected.
