In the Torah

97,484 sequences of רסה at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 98,629 that chance alone would produce.

The shortest skip at which רסה appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 33:12, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), רסה is found 1,613,755 times; chance alone would give about 1,528,713.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 98,629 of it, so a large count is expected.
