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 משה, and פיינשטיין has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, משה appears 1,169,380 times in the Torah — 0.7% more than the 1,161,588 chance alone would give; the probability of 1,169,380 or more by chance alone is 2.6 × 10⁻¹³.
The shortest skip at which משה appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:12, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), משה is found 18,714,168 times; chance alone would give about 18,004,106.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,161,588 of it, so a large count is expected.
