In the Torah

The Torah holds 81,506 sequences of זיע at skips 2–5,000 — about what chance alone gives (about 82,569).

The shortest skip at which זיע appears in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 11:2, reading forward.

At every skip the Torah allows (2–152,424), זיע is found 1,226,984 times; chance alone would give about 1,279,786.

A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 82,569 of it, so a large count is expected.
