In the Torah

The Torah holds 125,050 sequences of לוט at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 125,722).

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 38:18, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,913,705 sequences of לוט, against about 1,948,639 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 125,722 of it, so a large count is expected.
