In the Torah

The Torah holds 218,230 sequences of בצי at skips 2–5,000, 0.9% above what chance alone gives (about 216,240); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 9.7 × 10⁻⁶ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 25:16, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 3,198,190 sequences of בצי, against about 3,351,634 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 216,240 of it, so a large count is expected.
