In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, שוה appears 1,400,219 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 1,413,581, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 1:9, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 21,572,890 sequences of שוה, against about 21,909,900 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 1,413,581 of it, so a large count is expected.
