"Immediately" meaning, well, immediately?  With no intervening words?
Where is that?  Otherwise, you might want to look at repetitions of
'es' or 'Hashem' to start.

Also, are you counting forms of a word as the same, like lamishkan,
hamishkan, mishkan (regular), mishkan (s'michus), l'mishkan
(s'michus)?  What about amar, emor, amarti, lemor, etc.?
