In the Torah
The Torah holds 410,329 sequences of רוד at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 411,796).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:26, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 6,310,387 sequences of רוד, against about 6,382,659 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 411,796 of it, so a large count is expected.
