In the Torah
The Torah holds 1,390,109 sequences of איש at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 1,409,129).
The shortest skip at which איש appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 2:10, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), איש is found 20,995,880 times; chance alone would give about 21,840,892.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,409,129 of it, so a large count is expected.
