In the Torah
A name of more than one word is searched one word at a time, as the laboratory does: the counts on this page are for גון, and לנון has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, גון appears 97,701 times in the Torah — 1.5% more than the 96,254 chance alone would give; the probability of 97,701 or more by chance alone is 1.7 × 10⁻⁶.
The shortest skip at which גון appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 37:20, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), גון is found 1,472,053 times; chance alone would give about 1,491,903.
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.
