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 קרית, and ספר has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

16,208 sequences of קרית at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 16,592 that chance alone would produce.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 49:31, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 101,616, the Torah holds 165,090 sequences of קרית, against about 172,883 from chance alone.

  • Genesis 4,786
  • Exodus 3,587
  • Leviticus 2,614
