In the Torah
The Torah holds 97,701 sequences of ג׳ון at skips 2–5,000, 1.5% above what chance alone gives (about 96,254); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.7 × 10⁻⁶ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 37:20, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,472,053 sequences of ג׳ון, against about 1,491,903 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 96,254 of it, so a large count is expected.
