In the Torah

The Torah holds 968,339 sequences of הת׳ר at skips 2–5,000, 0.3% above what chance alone gives (about 965,847); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0056 by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 11:29, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 15,518,436 sequences of הת׳ר, against about 14,970,214 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 965,847 of it, so a large count is expected.
