In the Torah
The Torah holds 253,908 sequences of רפה at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 258,546).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 4:14, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 4,225,843 sequences of רפה, against about 4,007,347 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 258,546 of it, so a large count is expected.
