In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, אחד appears 143,992 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 144,754, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which אחד appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 20:17, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), אחד is found 2,341,139 times; chance alone would give about 2,243,626.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 144,754 of it, so a large count is expected.
