In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, ידו appears 716,611 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 716,945, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which ידו appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 11:8, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ידו is found 11,044,116 times; chance alone would give about 11,112,341.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 716,945 of it, so a large count is expected.
