In the Torah
The Torah holds 24,750 sequences of סדר at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 24,722).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Numbers 36:5, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 380,840 sequences of סדר, against about 383,173 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 24,722 of it, so a large count is expected.
