In the Torah
The Torah holds 533,801 sequences of תרש at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 536,888).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 5:16, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 8,110,401 sequences of תרש, against about 8,321,528 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 536,888 of it, so a large count is expected.
