In the Torah

The Torah holds 142,018 sequences of אדד at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 141,593).

The shortest skip at which אדד appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 30:15, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), אדד is found 2,181,441 times; chance alone would give about 2,194,627.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 141,593 of it, so a large count is expected.
