In the Torah
The Torah holds 143,445 sequences of רשף at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 143,718).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 31:18, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 2,306,164 sequences of רשף, against about 2,227,574 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 143,718 of it, so a large count is expected.
