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 מרי, and בעל has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, מרי appears 1,519,439 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,518,505, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which מרי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:8, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), מרי is found 22,992,171 times; chance alone would give about 23,536,175.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,518,505 of it, so a large count is expected.
