In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, כעס appears 25,507 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 26,115, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Leviticus 27:15, reading backward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 410,967 sequences of כעס, against about 404,773 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 26,115 of it, so a large count is expected.
