In the Torah

The Torah holds 749,578 sequences of הרן at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 760,087).

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:24, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 11,488,731 sequences of הרן, against about 11,781,016 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 760,087 of it, so a large count is expected.
