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 טום, and הנקס has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
The Torah holds 143,401 sequences of טום at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 146,239).
The shortest skip at which טום appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 12:37, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), טום is found 2,222,770 times; chance alone would give about 2,266,637.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 146,239 of it, so a large count is expected.
