In the Torah
The Torah holds 1,107 sequences of גזז at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 1,078).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 15 — the first at Exodus 37:12, reading backward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 18,596 sequences of גזז, against about 16,711 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,078 of it, so a large count is expected.
