In the Torah
The Torah holds 667,294 sequences of אבן at skips 2–5,000, 0.9% above what chance alone gives (about 661,131); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.9 × 10⁻¹⁴ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 17:27, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 10,159,379 sequences of אבן, against about 10,247,246 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 661,131 of it, so a large count is expected.
