    Many differences in letter frequencies from the aishdas article: http://www.aishdas.org/toratemet/en_pamphlet9.html

    Yeah. It's not surprising since aishdas is reporting results that were hand counted. Most are off by one or two. The amount off seems unrelated to how common the letter is (you might expect larger raw number errors on vavs and hehs than you do tets). One letter, tzadi, not a common one, is off by exactly 100, which to me looks like a scribal error.

    Where did you get this digital version of the Torah and could you make a copy of it available for download?

    My current digital version has 304,805 letters total, and I would like to see what the differences are between my version and your version.

      Is there a text file of all 304,805 letters in one string available online? I'm surprised no has ever done it before with so many computers around.

    I scraped the digital version from mechon-mamre.org. It required some editing to remove the verse headings. I think I did all of this correctly, but I could have erred.

      Thanks, that explains the difference. mechon-mamre.org uses a Yemenite edition of the Torah which has 304,801 letters, as opposed to the 304,805 letters in the editions used by Ashkenazi/Sephardic communities.

      Is it just a difference of 4 letters within words - if so, any idea which letters in which words?

    I came across your blog just now whilst trying to clarify the suggestion if the words Darosh Darash are the middle words of the Torah - as a number of sources suggest they are, whereas others suggest they are not the middle words, but the middle pair of duplicate words. I was checking it against my own digital Torah text which indicated it was clearly not the mid word (but could be the mid duplicate pair). My digital version I made as follows - I took the Torah text from mechon-mamre.org a few years ago and applied a word count. I then compared it to an alternate on-line source (I don't recall which one) and cross referenced any discrepancies, or which there were a few, against a printed Koren Torah. A number of differences were caused by the way some hyphenated words have copied from Machon Mamre and a comparably a few caused by pairs of words that were either joined and needed separating or separated needing to be joined. Overall I ended up with 4 words less than yourself - with 79977 words. The middle word being word 39988 - EL (Alef Lamed) in Vayikra Chap 8 verse 15. Any ideas where the suggestion came from that the middle words are Darosh Daresh ? Was it from someone miss-quoting the fact that its actually the middle of duplicate pair words which happens to be within approx 900 words of the actual centre?
