In the Torah
The Torah holds 232,053 sequences of כעב at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 232,871).
The shortest skip at which כעב appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:29, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), כעב is found 3,665,749 times; chance alone would give about 3,609,394.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 232,871 of it, so a large count is expected.
