In the Torah
The Torah holds 94,777 sequences of שגה at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 97,640).
The shortest skip at which שגה appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 4:26, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), שגה is found 1,494,136 times; chance alone would give about 1,513,378.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 97,640 of it, so a large count is expected.
