In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, כשר appears 352,727 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 357,965, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which כשר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 13:6, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), כשר is found 5,736,602 times; chance alone would give about 5,548,304.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 357,965 of it, so a large count is expected.
