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 עשרת, and הדברות has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, עשרת appears 19,748 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 19,648, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which עשרת appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Deuteronomy 20:9, reading backward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–101,616), עשרת is found 206,248 times; chance alone would give about 204,726.
