In the Torah
The Torah holds 415,234 sequences of כתר at skips 2–5,000, 0.8% above what chance alone gives (about 412,021); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 2.9 × 10⁻⁷ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 10:2, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 6,608,957 sequences of כתר, against about 6,386,153 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 412,021 of it, so a large count is expected.
