In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, שדה appears 327,612 times in the Torah — 0.6% more than the 325,559 chance alone would give; the probability of 327,612 or more by chance alone is 0.00016.
The shortest skip at which שדה appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Leviticus 20:18, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), שדה is found 5,032,451 times; chance alone would give about 5,046,029.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 325,559 of it, so a large count is expected.
