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 עדן, and גן has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, עדן appears 119,459 times in the Torah — 1.0% more than the 118,251 chance alone would give; the probability of 119,459 or more by chance alone is 0.00023.
The shortest skip at which עדן appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 29:15, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), עדן is found 1,822,916 times; chance alone would give about 1,832,845.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 118,251 of it, so a large count is expected.
