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 קיר, and חרש has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
280,851 sequences of קיר at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 284,152 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 19:19, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 4,244,539 sequences of קיר, against about 4,404,238 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 284,152 of it, so a large count is expected.
