In the Torah
The Torah holds 1,603,178 sequences of הלם at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 1,606,633).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:15, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 24,669,270 sequences of הלם, against about 24,902,121 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,606,633 of it, so a large count is expected.
