In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, הרא appears 1,448,446 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,456,035, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which הרא appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:12, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), הרא is found 22,050,547 times; chance alone would give about 22,567,910.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,456,035 of it, so a large count is expected.
