In the Torah
The Torah holds 14,698 sequences of שפט at skips 2–5,000, 2.8% above what chance alone gives (about 14,304); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.00053 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 5 — the first at Numbers 6:12, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 234,477 sequences of שפט, against about 221,713 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 14,304 of it, so a large count is expected.
