In the Torah

1,299,911 sequences of אמר at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 1,302,153 that chance alone would produce.

The shortest skip at which אמר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:19, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), אמר is found 20,246,677 times; chance alone would give about 20,182,814.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,302,153 of it, so a large count is expected.
