In the Torah
The Torah holds 875,603 sequences of רבה at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 879,486).
The shortest skip at which רבה appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 17:18, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), רבה is found 13,511,537 times; chance alone would give about 13,631,651.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 879,486 of it, so a large count is expected.
