In the Torah
The Torah holds 65,181 sequences of זרש at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 65,743).
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 17:14, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 990,387 sequences of זרש, against about 1,018,982 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 65,743 of it, so a large count is expected.
