In the Torah
The Torah holds 29,388 sequences of סלד at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 29,420).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 4:2, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 452,149 sequences of סלד, against about 456,002 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 29,420 of it, so a large count is expected.
