In the Torah
The Torah holds 243,732 sequences of חרת at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 247,495).

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), חרת is found 3,747,310 times; chance alone would give about 3,836,067.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 247,495 of it, so a large count is expected.
