27 positive; 47 prohibitions
More mitzvot than any other sedra

most positives & most prohibitions
Avg. approx. 2 mitzvot per 3 p'sukim
The top 6 mitzva sedras - Ki Tetze,
Emor, Re'eh, Mishpatim, Kedoshim,
and Shofetim, 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.
