On און
On (און) is a person named in the Tanakh — On (person). In the Torah codes, On is found 1,238,644 times at skips 2–5,000, the shortest at skip 2 (Genesis 16:8) — 0.3% above the 1,235,015 chance alone would give (probability of 1,238,644 or more by chance alone: 0.00055).

In the Torah
The Torah holds 1,238,644 sequences of און at skips 2–5,000, 0.3% above what chance alone gives (about 1,235,015); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00055 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 16:8, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 18,916,352 sequences of און, against about 19,142,195 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,235,015 of it, so a large count is expected.
