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 עתה, and קצין has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

The Torah holds 608,346 sequences of עתה at skips 2–5,000, 1.5% above what chance alone gives (about 599,491); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.9 × 10⁻³⁰ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 18:21, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 9,640,615 sequences of עתה, against about 9,291,857 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 599,491 of it, so a large count is expected.
