Parshat Ki Teitzei

49th of 54 sedras in the Torah 6th of 11 in D'varim

44 Parshiyot; 2 open, 42 closed

110 p'sukim - ranks 28th (5th)

1582 words - ranks 23rd (5th)

5856 letters - ranks 26th (6th)

Slightly larger than average p'sukim; below average for D'varim Overall, an average-sized sedra

But... 74 of the 613 mitzvot 27 positive; 47 prohibitions More mitzvot than any other sedra

12% of the Torah's mitzvot most positives & most prohibitions Avg. approx. 2 mitzvot per 3 p'sukim

The top 6 mitzva sedras - Ki Tetze, Emor, R'ei, Mishpatim,
K'doshim, and Sho'f'tim, are 11% of the Torah's text and have almost 55% of the mitzvot. That is more than half of the mitzvot in less than a ninth of the text. Contrast this with 17 sedras that have none of the 613 mitzvot.
