11th of 54 sedras; 11 of 12 in B'reishit Written on 178+ lines in a Sefer Torah Vayigash is composed of 3 parshiot, all closed. Actually, it's 2½ parshiot because Vay'chi begins in the middle of the third parsha. It (Vayigash) is the only sedra that does not end "neatly" [How many points do you get in a game of CHUMASH for opening to the end of Vayigash?] 106 p'sukim - ranks 28th in the Torah tied with To'l'dot and Bo. Actually smaller than Bo, bigger than To'l'dot 1480 words - 30th; 5680 letters - 29th 9th in B'reishit in all 3 categories Slightly above average in length of p'sukim in the Torah, above average for B'reishit VAYIGASH contains none of the 613 [The Vayigash Homepage]
