In the Torah
The Torah holds 284,856 sequences of יפת at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 288,002).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 16:5, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 4,707,380 sequences of יפת, against about 4,463,906 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 288,002 of it, so a large count is expected.
