Torah Tidbits SEDRA STATS 48th of the Torah's 54 sedras 5th of 11 in Devarim 18 Parshiyot; 3 open, 15 closed 97 pesukim - ranks 36th (tied with Tzav) 1523 words - ranks 28th 5590 letters - ranks 31st 7th in Devarim in all categories Relatively large pesukim, like most sedras in Devarim 41 of the 613 mitzvot 14 positive, 27 prohibitions Ranks 6th in number of mitzvot Mitzva Watch The top 6 mitzva sedras - Ki Tetze, Emor, Re'eh, Mishpatim, Kedoshim, and Shoeftim, are 11% of the Torah's text and have almost 55% of the mitzvot. That is more than half of the mitzvot in less than a ninth of the text. Contrast this with 17 sedras that have none of the 613 mitzvot. |
