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 אצר, and שר has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, אצר appears 208,825 times in the Torah — 1.6% more than the 205,625 chance alone would give; the probability of 208,825 or more by chance alone is 9.8 × 10⁻¹³.
The shortest skip at which אצר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 7:4, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), אצר is found 3,045,145 times; chance alone would give about 3,187,099.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 205,625 of it, so a large count is expected.
