Sedra-Stats
8th of 54 sedras; 8th of 12 in B'reishit
Written on 237 lines in a Sefer Torah; ranks 11th
9 Parshi'ot - 6 P'tuchot; 3 S'tumot
153 p'sukim - 4th (1st in B'reishit)Same number as No'ach, but more words and letters
1976 words; 7458 letters, 6th (4th)
The drop in rank for words and letters is because its p'sukim are well below average in number of words and letters (but not as low as No'ach). In other words, Vayishlach has many relatively short p'sukim

Mitzvot:
1 of the 613, the first prohibition of the Torah's 365; the only one in B'reishit - GID HaNASHEH
