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 מלך has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, נתן appears 190,273 times in the Torah — 0.4% more than the 189,508 chance alone would give; the probability of 190,273 or more by chance alone is 0.04.
The shortest skip at which נתן appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 16:3, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), נתן is found 3,051,261 times; chance alone would give about 2,937,299.
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.
