In the Torah
The Torah holds 236,309 sequences of צור at skips 2–5,000, 1.9% above what chance alone gives (about 232,016); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 3.2 × 10⁻¹⁹ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 15:14, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 3,561,434 sequences of צור, against about 3,596,145 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 232,016 of it, so a large count is expected.
