In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, תש״א appears 801,616 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 801,555, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 6:14, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 12,860,075 sequences of תש״א, against about 12,423,755 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 801,555 of it, so a large count is expected.
