11th of 54 sedras; 11th of 12 in B’reishit
Written on 178.07 lines in a Torah, ranks 34
Vayigash is composed of 3 parshiyot, all closed, one VERY closed. Actually, Vayigash has only 2.89 parshiot; it ends after 34 p’sukim of a 38-pasuk parsha; Vayigash is the only sedra that does not end with a parsha break. (This shows up in a Chumash by there not being a PEI-PEI-PEI or SAMACH-SAMACH-SAMACH between Vayigash and Vaychi.)
106 p’sukim - ranks 28; tied with To’l'dot and Bo. Actually it is considerably smaller than Bo, and a bit larger than To’l'dot
1480 words - 30th; 5680 letters - 29th
9th (of 12) in B’reishit in all 3 categories
