Sedra Stats

T'tzaveh STATS

Written on 179.2 lines in a Sefer Torah, rank: 33
10 Parshiot; 2 open, 8 closed
101 p’sukim - ranks 35th (8th in Sh’mot)
1412 words - ranks 35th (8th in Sh’mot)

MITZVOT
Contains 7 mitzvot; 4 positive and 3 prohibitions

As often happens in the Torah, there are other mitzvot in a sedra besides the ones that are counted among the Taryag. This is so in T’tzaveh. The numbers don’t always give us an accurate “Mitzva-Picture” of a particular sedra.
