In the Torah

The Torah holds 129,536 sequences of זית at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 131,744).

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Numbers 25:15, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 1,952,822 sequences of זית, against about 2,041,970 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 131,744 of it, so a large count is expected.
