Sedra-Stats
37th of the 54 sedras; 4th of 10 in Bamidbar
Written on 198 lines in a Sefer Torah (rank: 25th)
10 Parshiyot; 7 open, 3 closed
119 p'sukim, ranks 21st, 6th in Bamidbar
1540 words, ranks 27th, 5th in Bamidbar
5820 letters, ranks 27th, 4th in Bamidbar
Sh'lach has shorter than average p'sukim, which explains the drop in ranking for words and letters, yet the rise in rank within Bamidbar indicates that there are sedras with even shorter p'sukim
Whenever Israel and Chutz LaAretz are out of sync Parshat HaShavua-wise, they are brought back in line in 6 or 16 weeks, as the case may be. On the other hand, Pirkei Avot stays out of sync throughout the season, until a week or two before Rosh HaShana. <jtyltk>
