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 ויליאם, and רוברט has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.

Across every skip (2–60,969), ויליאם appears 9,706 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 10,310, so the count is in line with chance.

The shortest skip at which ויליאם appears in the Torah is 2 — at Genesis 32:3, reading backward.

The longest skip at which ויליאם was found in the Torah is 60,305 — at Genesis 2:11, reading forward; a spelling of 6 letters fits the Torah at skips up to 60,969.

Examples across the range

5 of the 9,706 sequences, chosen across the range of skips — the shortest, mid-range skips and the longest found — each with its verse and its matrix.
