In the Torah
The Torah holds 925,396 sequences of שרי at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 943,846).
The shortest skip at which שרי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 9:21, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), שרי is found 14,280,973 times; chance alone would give about 14,629,201.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 943,846 of it, so a large count is expected.
