In the Torah
345,264 sequences of פיל at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 346,084 that chance alone would produce.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:29, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 5,142,044 sequences of פיל, against about 5,364,148 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 346,084 of it, so a large count is expected.
