In the Torah
The Torah holds 42,248 sequences of חטה at skips 2–5,000, 9.7% above what chance alone gives (about 38,501); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 4.0 × 10⁻⁷⁹ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 50:2, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 708,311 sequences of חטה, against about 596,747 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 38,501 of it, so a large count is expected.
