In the Torah
The Torah holds 89,132 sequences of סין at skips 2–5,000, 3.1% above what chance alone gives (about 86,461); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 8.0 × 10⁻²⁰ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 49:11, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,282,698 sequences of סין, against about 1,340,105 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 86,461 of it, so a large count is expected.
