In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, נבט appears 44,802 times in the Torah — 1.6% more than the 44,075 chance alone would give; the probability of 44,802 or more by chance alone is 0.00028.

The shortest skip at which נבט appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Numbers 33:33, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), נבט is found 676,743 times; chance alone would give about 683,150.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 44,075 of it, so a large count is expected.
