In the Torah
The Torah holds 731,295 sequences of ישן at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 735,601).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 19:34, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 11,776,458 sequences of ישן, against about 11,401,495 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 735,601 of it, so a large count is expected.
