49th of 54 sedras in the Torah; 6th of 11 in D'varim Written on 213 lines in a Sefer Torah (with 44 parshiyot, lots of blank space) 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 OTOH... Mitzvot 74 of 613 mitzvot; 27 pos. 47 prohibitions 12% of the Torah's mitzvot; more than any other sedra; most positives & most prohibitions. Avg. 2 mitzvot per 3 p'sukim The top 6 mitzva sedras - Ki Teitzei, 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. [The Ki Teitzei Homepage]
