In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, נדב appears 173,670 times in the Torah — 1.1% more than the 171,806 chance alone would give; the probability of 173,670 or more by chance alone is 3.6 × 10⁻⁶.
The shortest skip at which נדב appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 15:11, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), נדב is found 2,650,079 times; chance alone would give about 2,662,921.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 171,806 of it, so a large count is expected.
