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 שאר, and ישוב has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

795,956 sequences of שאר at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 809,370 that chance alone would produce.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:21, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 12,293,241 sequences of שאר, against about 12,544,878 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 809,370 of it, so a large count is expected.

  • Exodus 170,357
  • Leviticus 114,010
