The Torah holds 18,171 sequences of תשע״ב at skips 2–5,000, 2.6% above what chance alone gives (about 17,718); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00036 by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 44:1, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 101,616, the Torah holds 194,068 sequences of תשע״ב, against about 184,621 from chance alone.
