In the Torah
The Torah holds 536,110 sequences of שרר at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 542,122).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 42:3, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 8,205,890 sequences of שרר, against about 8,402,658 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 542,122 of it, so a large count is expected.
