In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, ספי appears 31,909 times in the Torah — 8.5% more than the 29,410 chance alone would give; the probability of 31,909 or more by chance alone is 3.9 × 10⁻⁴⁷.
The shortest skip at which ספי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 6:13, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ספי is found 480,685 times; chance alone would give about 455,841.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 29,410 of it, so a large count is expected.
