In the Torah
88,565 sequences of מרס at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 88,206 that chance alone would produce.
The shortest skip at which מרס appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Leviticus 11:4, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), מרס is found 1,331,698 times; chance alone would give about 1,367,151.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 88,206 of it, so a large count is expected.
