In the Torah

The Torah holds 643,336 sequences of עמל at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 644,257).

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

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 10,040,072 sequences of עמל, against about 9,985,702 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 644,257 of it, so a large count is expected.
