Kohath קהת
Kohath (קהת) is a person named in the Tanakh. In the Torah codes, Kohath is found 253,351 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 18:5) — 1.3% above the 250,188 chance alone would give (probability of 253,351 or more by chance alone: 1.4 × 10⁻¹⁰).

In the Torah
The Torah holds 253,351 sequences of קהת at skips 2–5,000, 1.3% above what chance alone gives (about 250,188); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 18:5, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 3,973,736 sequences of קהת, against about 3,877,802 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 250,188 of it, so a large count is expected.
