In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, לוק appears 324,403 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 327,198, so the count is in line with chance.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 6:5, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 5,003,237 sequences of לוק, against about 5,071,430 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 327,198 of it, so a large count is expected.
