In the Torah

The Torah holds 60,011 sequences of כסא at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 62,816).

The shortest skip at which כסא appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 21:23, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), כסא is found 1,025,974 times; chance alone would give about 973,615.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 62,816 of it, so a large count is expected.
