In the Torah
133,996 sequences of אזל at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 135,757 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which אזל appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Leviticus 11:4, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), אזל is found 2,318,578 times; chance alone would give about 2,104,170.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 135,757 of it, so a large count is expected.
