In the Torah
The Torah holds 363,231 sequences of שוח at skips 2–5,000, 0.3% above what chance alone gives (about 362,226); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 0.05 by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 5:29, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 5,531,051 sequences of שוח, against about 5,614,339 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 362,226 of it, so a large count is expected.
