In the Torah
The Torah holds 86,015 sequences of ג׳אן at skips 2–5,000, 0.8% above what chance alone gives (about 85,306); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0077 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 20:12, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,295,575 sequences of ג׳אן, against about 1,322,205 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 85,306 of it, so a large count is expected.
