In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, עזז appears 6,451 times in the Torah — 12% more than the 5,751 chance alone would give; the probability of 6,451 or more by chance alone is 7.5 × 10⁻²⁰.
The shortest skip at which עזז appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 37:12, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), עזז is found 98,810 times; chance alone would give about 89,142.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 5,751 of it, so a large count is expected.
