In the Torah
The Torah holds 502,152 sequences of רכל at skips 2–5,000, 1.4% above what chance alone gives (about 495,114); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 9.5 × 10⁻²⁴ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 7:3, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 7,277,120 sequences of רכל, against about 7,674,057 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 495,114 of it, so a large count is expected.
