In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, עדו appears 253,831 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 255,597, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which עדו appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:15, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), עדו is found 3,942,051 times; chance alone would give about 3,961,650.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 255,597 of it, so a large count is expected.
