In the Torah
The Torah holds 27,669 sequences of ציץ at skips 2–5,000, 5.6% above what chance alone gives (about 26,208); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 2.0 × 10⁻¹⁹ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Exodus 1:12, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 392,847 sequences of ציץ, against about 406,215 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 26,208 of it, so a large count is expected.
