In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, עוג appears 77,194 times in the Torah — 0.7% more than the 76,657 chance alone would give; the probability of 77,194 or more by chance alone is 0.03.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), עוג is found 1,172,436 times; chance alone would give about 1,188,157.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 76,657 of it, so a large count is expected.
