Sedra Stats

Sedra Stats - Parashat Ki Tisa

21st of 54 sedras; 9th of 11 in Sh’mot
Written on 245.17 lines in a Torah, rank 8th
14 Parshiot; 10 open, 4 closed
139 p’sukim - ranks 10th, 1st in Sh’mot
2002 words - ranks 5th, 1st in Shmot
7424 letters - ranks 8th, 1st in Sh’mot

Large sedra in general plus relatively long p’sukim, which explains the jump in rank from 10th for p’sukim to 5th for words. Only 4 other sedra have more than 2000 words.

Add the 346 words of the Maftir for Para and this week’s reading moves into first place in number of words read. (Not counting combined sedras.)

MITZVOT
Contains 9 mitzvot; 4 positive and 5 prohibitions

And as long as we’re talking numbers, 9 doesn’t seem like very many mitzvot, but only 17 of the remaining 53 sedras (less than a third) have more mitzvot than Ki Tisa.

Summary: 17 sedras have double-digit mitzvot; 17 sedras have no mitzvot. The other 20 sedras have between 1-9 mitzvot.
