In the Torah

14,843 sequences of זיג at skips 2–5,000 in the Torah, close to the 15,479 that chance alone would produce.

Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 38:17, reading backward.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 15,479 of it, so a large count is expected.
