In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, יתת appears 1,089,115 times in the Torah — 1.2% more than the 1,075,887 chance alone would give; the probability of 1,089,115 or more by chance alone is 2.1 × 10⁻³⁷.

The shortest skip at which יתת appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 5:8, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), יתת is found 17,275,788 times; chance alone would give about 16,675,778.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,075,887 of it, so a large count is expected.
