Sedra Stats
Sedra Stats - Vayeira
4th of the 54 sedras; 4th of 12 sedras in B’reishit
Written on 252 lines in a Sefer Torah, ranks 5th
6 Parshiyot; 4 open, 2 closed
147 p’sukim - ranks 7th (4th in B’reishit)
2085 words - ranks 2nd (first in B’reishit)
7862 letters - ranks 3rd (2nd in B’reishit)
P’sukim above average in length (i.e. number of words and number of letters per pasuk) explain its rise in rankings from p’sukim to words (and letters). Vayeira is actually 2nd largest sedra in the Torah. (Naso, is #1 with no rival - Bamidbar, Pinchas, and R’ei all take up more lines than Vayeira, but those sedras each have many parshiyot, which means a lot of blank space between parshiyot, which adds to the number of lines.)
