In the Torah
At skips 2–5,000, תכן appears 314,638 times in the Torah; chance alone would give about 321,115, so the count is in line with chance.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 3:17, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 4,694,231 sequences of תכן, against about 4,977,147 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 321,115 of it, so a large count is expected.
