In the Torah
The Torah holds 244,644 sequences of צרי at skips 2–5,000, 2.0% above what chance alone gives (about 239,789); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 2.5 × 10⁻²³ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 13:10, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 3,638,687 sequences of צרי, against about 3,716,633 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 239,789 of it, so a large count is expected.
