In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, יצר appears 245,878 times in the Torah — 2.5% more than the 239,789 chance alone would give; the probability of 245,878 or more by chance alone is 1.7 × 10⁻³⁵.
The shortest skip at which יצר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:29, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), יצר is found 3,554,673 times; chance alone would give about 3,716,633.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 239,789 of it, so a large count is expected.
