In the Torah
The Torah holds 38,086 sequences of חדד at skips 2–5,000, 1.2% above what chance alone gives (about 37,617); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0079 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 30:15, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 579,922 sequences of חדד, against about 583,044 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 37,617 of it, so a large count is expected.
