In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, ירב appears 994,313 times in the Torah — 0.5% more than the 989,238 chance alone would give; the probability of 994,313 or more by chance alone is 1.7 × 10⁻⁷.
The shortest skip at which ירב appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 8:21, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ירב is found 14,986,921 times; chance alone would give about 15,332,753.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 989,238 of it, so a large count is expected.
