In the Torah
The Torah holds 364,478 sequences of שדי at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 366,186).
The shortest skip at which שדי appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 34:30, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), שדי is found 5,645,266 times; chance alone would give about 5,675,726.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 366,186 of it, so a large count is expected.
