In the Torah
The Torah holds 75,926 sequences of דקל at skips 2–5,000, 0.8% above what chance alone gives (about 75,356); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.02 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 20:16, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,226,856 sequences of דקל, against about 1,167,992 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 75,356 of it, so a large count is expected.
