In the Torah
The Torah holds 68,025 sequences of גרב at skips 2–5,000, 2.9% above what chance alone gives (about 66,114); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 7.1 × 10⁻¹⁴ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 50:9, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,001,298 sequences of גרב, against about 1,024,743 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 66,114 of it, so a large count is expected.
