In the Torah
The Torah holds 24,556 sequences of סרד at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 24,722).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 8:5, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 372,929 sequences of סרד, 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.
