In the Torah

334,849 sequences of שער at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 336,490 that chance alone would produce.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 11:25, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 5,309,771 sequences of שער, against about 5,215,443 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 336,490 of it, so a large count is expected.
