In the Torah
The Torah holds 257,148 sequences of עתך at skips 2–5,000, 0.6% above what chance alone gives (about 255,737); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0027 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:6, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 4,100,939 sequences of עתך, against about 3,963,819 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 255,737 of it, so a large count is expected.
