In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, נשק appears 112,862 times in the Torah — 3.1% more than the 109,445 chance alone would give; the probability of 112,862 or more by chance alone is 4.6 × 10⁻²⁵.
The shortest skip at which נשק appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 44:30, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), נשק is found 1,758,317 times; chance alone would give about 1,696,350.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 109,445 of it, so a large count is expected.
