In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, נצח appears 41,069 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 42,575, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 47:25, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 626,966 sequences of נצח, against about 659,899 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 42,575 of it, so a large count is expected.
