The shortest skip at which ערד appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 14:6, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ערד is found 2,295,880 times; chance alone would give about 2,351,715.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 151,728 of it, so a large count is expected.
