Parshat Matot-Mas'ei
Sedra-Stats
Matot and Mas’ei are the most combined of the 7 sedra-pairs we have.They are
read separately in 13-month years which begin on Thursday. That accounts for
only 10.6% of years. In Eretz Yisrael (but not abroad), they are also
separated in 13-month years when Pesach begins on Shabbat. This happens 9.9%
of the years.

Drop in rank - p'sukim to words & letters - noticeable
for Matot, severe for Mas'ei - results from short p'sukim. P'sukim of Mas'ei
are the shortest in the whole Torah.
