In the Torah
The Torah holds 353,529 sequences of רבע at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 352,672).
The shortest skip at which רבע appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 10:11, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), רבע is found 5,415,826 times; chance alone would give about 5,466,265.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 352,672 of it, so a large count is expected.
