Sedra-Stats

B'HAR Stats
32nd of 54 sedras; 9th of 10 in Vayikra
Written on 99 lines in a Sefer Torah, ranks: 50th
7 parshiyot; 1 open, 6 closed
57 p'sukim, rank: 50th; last in Vayikra
737 words, rank: 50th; last in Vayikra
2817 letters, rank: 50th; last in Vayikra
A very short sedra. Only 4 are shorter, viz. the last 4 of the Torah: Nitzavim, Vayeilech, Haazinu, V'zot HaBracha
Are B'har and B'chukotai combined more or less often than they are separated? Depends where you live. Abroad, they are separated 37% of the time. But in Eretz Yisrael, 55% of the time.

Mitzvot:
Contains 24 mitzvot - 7 positive, 17 prohibitions
Mitzva Density:
Only 7 sedras have more mitzvot. 9 sedras (B'har included) contain 409 mitzvot. 17% of the sedras contain 67% of the mitzvot.
17 sedras (31%) have no mitzvot.
That leaves 28 sedras (52%) with the remaining 33% of the mitzvot. Very uneven distribution
