In the Torah

The Torah holds 109,681 sequences of דיק at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 110,243).

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 18:12, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,645,520 sequences of דיק, against about 1,708,723 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 110,243 of it, so a large count is expected.
