In the Torah
The Torah holds 305,270 sequences of ערן at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 304,793).
The shortest skip at which ערן appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:7, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ערן is found 4,611,826 times; chance alone would give about 4,724,164.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 304,793 of it, so a large count is expected.
