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 חלקת, and הצרים has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

At skips 2–5,000, חלקת appears 4,902 times in the Torah — 9.0% more than the 4,498 chance alone would give; the probability of 4,902 or more by chance alone is 1.5 × 10⁻⁹.

The shortest skip at which חלקת appears in the Torah is 3 — the first at Deuteronomy 1:8, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–101,616), חלקת is found 48,805 times; chance alone would give about 46,872.
