In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, סשה appears 85,964 times in the Torah — 1.3% more than the 84,862 chance alone would give; the probability of 85,964 or more by chance alone is 8.1 × 10⁻⁵.
The shortest skip at which סשה appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 26:25, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), סשה is found 1,371,521 times; chance alone would give about 1,315,326.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 84,862 of it, so a large count is expected.
