In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, שכר appears 353,952 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 357,965, so the count is in line with chance.
The shortest skip at which שכר appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 28:8, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), שכר is found 5,239,618 times; chance alone would give about 5,548,304.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 357,965 of it, so a large count is expected.
