In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, נבל appears 532,677 times in the Torah — 1.1% more than the 526,999 chance alone would give; the probability of 532,677 or more by chance alone is 2.9 × 10⁻¹⁵.
The shortest skip at which נבל appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 7:3, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), נבל is found 8,101,195 times; chance alone would give about 8,168,260.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 526,999 of it, so a large count is expected.
