In the Torah
The Torah holds 681,290 sequences of יער at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 680,876).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 5:8, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 10,748,213 sequences of יער, against about 10,553,287 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 680,876 of it, so a large count is expected.
