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 נתן, and שרנסקי has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 190,273 sequences of נתן at skips 2–5,000, 0.4% above what chance alone gives (about 189,508); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.04 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 16:3, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 3,051,261 sequences of נתן, against about 2,937,299 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 189,508 of it, so a large count is expected.
