In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, תחת appears 128,920 times in the Torah — 5.2% more than the 122,553 chance alone would give; the probability of 128,920 or more by chance alone is 5.4 × 10⁻⁷³.

The shortest skip at which תחת appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 8:4, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), תחת is found 1,983,816 times; chance alone would give about 1,899,515.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 122,553 of it, so a large count is expected.
