In the Torah
The Torah holds 114,592 sequences of הגר at skips 2–5,000, 1.0% above what chance alone gives (about 113,480); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00049 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 6:4, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,744,386 sequences of הגר, against about 1,758,896 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 113,480 of it, so a large count is expected.
