In the Torah
The Torah holds 40,388 sequences of חסה at skips 2–5,000, 3.2% above what chance alone gives (about 39,120); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 9.1 × 10⁻¹¹ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 12:27, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 642,728 sequences of חסה, against about 606,340 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 39,120 of it, so a large count is expected.
