In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, רור appears 534,653 times in the Torah — 0.7% more than the 530,703 chance alone would give; the probability of 534,653 or more by chance alone is 3.1 × 10⁻⁸.

The shortest skip at which רור appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:19, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), רור is found 8,133,365 times; chance alone would give about 8,225,660.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 530,703 of it, so a large count is expected.
