In the Torah
The Torah holds 681,751 sequences of ערי at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 680,876).
The shortest skip at which ערי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:21, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), ערי is found 10,313,570 times; chance alone would give about 10,553,287.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 680,876 of it, so a large count is expected.
