In the Torah
The Torah holds 2,551,384 sequences of יום at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 2,558,043).
The shortest skip at which יום appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 4:24, reading forward.
At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), יום is found 39,204,396 times; chance alone would give about 39,648,553.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 2,558,043 of it, so a large count is expected.
