In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, כוח appears 268,511 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 277,981, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:10, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 4,245,043 sequences of כוח, against about 4,308,586 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 277,981 of it, so a large count is expected.
