In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, טלם appears 101,464 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 103,310, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:16, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,590,359 sequences of טלם, against about 1,601,263 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 103,310 of it, so a large count is expected.
