In the Torah
The Torah holds 2,194,507 sequences of ויל at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 2,199,162).
The shortest skip at which ויל appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:14, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ויל is found 32,771,404 times; chance alone would give about 34,086,062.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 2,199,162 of it, so a large count is expected.
