SEDRA STATS
41st of the 54 sedras; 8th of 10 in Bamidbar
35 Parshiyot; 10 open, 25 closed
168 psukim - ranks 2nd in the Torah
1887 words - ranks 9th (what a drop!)
7853 letters - ranks 4th
1) 2nd shortest psukim in the Torah, wordwise.
2) 49th of 54 in length of psukim, letterwise.
3) Longest words in the Torah.
