In the Torah
The Torah holds 18,777 sequences of בזק at skips 2–5,000, 5.2% above what chance alone gives (about 17,849); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 2.8 × 10⁻¹² by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Leviticus 15:8, reading backward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 306,936 sequences of בזק, against about 276,645 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 17,849 of it, so a large count is expected.
