In the Torah
The Torah holds 188,782 sequences of אוז at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 192,168).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 36:17, reading forward.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 192,168 of it, so a large count is expected.
