In the Torah
The Torah holds 16,969 sequences of קטת at skips 2–5,000, 5.5% above what chance alone gives (about 16,088); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 2.9 × 10⁻¹² by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 3 — the first at Leviticus 14:42, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 297,800 sequences of קטת, against about 249,351 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 16,088 of it, so a large count is expected.
