In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, טרה appears 101,019 times in the Torah — 4.1% more than the 97,069 chance alone would give; the probability of 101,019 or more by chance alone is 1.2 × 10⁻³⁶.
The shortest skip at which טרה appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:5, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), טרה is found 1,465,065 times; chance alone would give about 1,504,527.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 97,069 of it, so a large count is expected.
