In the Torah
The Torah holds 190,046 sequences of דבש at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 189,673).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 29:27, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 2,914,535 sequences of דבש, against about 2,939,845 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 189,673 of it, so a large count is expected.
