In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, טבת appears 57,335 times in the Torah — 2.4% more than the 56,007 chance alone would give; the probability of 57,335 or more by chance alone is 1.1 × 10⁻⁸.
The shortest skip at which טבת appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 29:19, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), טבת is found 856,807 times; chance alone would give about 868,083.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 56,007 of it, so a large count is expected.
