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 שתר, and בוזני has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

At skips 2–5,000, שתר appears 539,236 times in the Torah — 0.4% more than the 536,888 chance alone would give; the probability of 539,236 or more by chance alone is 0.00068.

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

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), שתר is found 8,627,235 times; chance alone would give about 8,321,528.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 536,888 of it, so a large count is expected.
