In the Torah

At skips 2–5,000, שני appears 729,921 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 735,601, so the count is in line with chance.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 7:13, reading forward.

Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 11,502,249 sequences of שני, against about 11,401,495 from chance alone.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 735,601 of it, so a large count is expected.
