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 פחת, and מואב has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

The Torah holds 67,759 sequences of פחת at skips 2–5,000, 3.3% above what chance alone gives (about 65,612); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 3.8 × 10⁻¹⁷ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 6:16, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,061,662 sequences of פחת, against about 1,016,955 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 65,612 of it, so a large count is expected.
