In the Torah
The Torah holds 36,428 sequences of רצף at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 36,512).
The shortest skip at which רצף appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Deuteronomy 11:4, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), רצף is found 537,069 times; chance alone would give about 565,928.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 36,512 of it, so a large count is expected.
