In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, המן appears 1,045,478 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,052,170, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:24, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 16,427,625 sequences of המן, against about 16,308,176 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,052,170 of it, so a large count is expected.
