Sedra Stats

Sedra Stats - Parashat Re'i

47th of the 54 sedras;
4th of 11 in D’varim
Written on 257.8 lines in a Torah (rank: 4th)
20 Parshiyot; 5 open; 15 closed (rank: 10 tied)
126 p’sukim - ranks 13th (first in D’varim)
Same number of p’sukim as Lech L’cha, but Lech L’cha ranks 23 in size, compared with 4th for R’ei. Interesting, no?
1932 words - ranks 7th (first in D’varim)
7442 letters - ranks 7th (first in D’varim)
Relatively long p’sukim like most sedras in D’varim (hence, jump in ranking)

MITZVOT
55 of the 613; 17 positive, 38 prohibition
Only Ki Teitzei & Emor have more mitzvot
