In the Torah

The Torah holds 127,342 sequences of קנת at skips 2–5,000, 1.1% above what chance alone gives (about 125,972); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 5.9 × 10⁻⁵ by chance alone.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 4:1, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,968,978 sequences of קנת, against about 1,952,516 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 125,972 of it, so a large count is expected.
