In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, געל appears 53,647 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 54,155, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 7:21, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 853,823 sequences of געל, against about 839,372 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 54,155 of it, so a large count is expected.
