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 חצר, and שועל has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

53,331 sequences of חצר at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 54,628 that chance alone would produce.

The shortest skip at which חצר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Leviticus 18:18, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), חצר is found 807,011 times; chance alone would give about 846,713.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 54,628 of it, so a large count is expected.
