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 יום, and טוב has its own figure under the other spellings, each beside its chance figure.
At skips 2–5,000, יום appears 2,551,384 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 2,558,043, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 4:24, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 39,204,396 sequences of יום, against about 39,648,553 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 2,558,043 of it, so a large count is expected.
