In the Torah
65,746 sequences of פרח at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 66,251 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 41:49, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 999,235 sequences of פרח, against about 1,026,869 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 66,251 of it, so a large count is expected.
