In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, יתר appears 1,073,729 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,086,376, so the count is in line with chance.

The shortest skip at which יתר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 6:18, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), יתר is found 17,439,360 times; chance alone would give about 16,838,355.
