In the Torah
The Torah holds 258,042 sequences of יבק at skips 2–5,000, 0.7% above what chance alone gives (about 256,247); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.0002 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:17, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 3,935,643 sequences of יבק, against about 3,971,712 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 256,247 of it, so a large count is expected.
