In the Torah
The Torah holds 218,609 sequences of צבי at skips 2–5,000, 1.1% above what chance alone gives (about 216,240); at counts this large even that difference has a probability of 1.9 × 10⁻⁷ by chance alone.
Its smallest skip in the Torah is 2 — the first at Genesis 23:7, reading forward.
Counting every skip from 2 to 152,424, the Torah holds 3,321,883 sequences of צבי, against about 3,351,634 from chance alone.
A three-letter spelling is common at these skips: in a text of 304,850 letters chance alone produces about 216,240 of it, so a large count is expected.
