Bo Stats
15th of the 54 sedras; 3rd of 11 in Sh'mot
Written on 205.67 lines in a Sefer Torah, rank: 24
14 parshiot; 8 open, 6 closed
106 p'sukim - ranks 29th (7th in Shmot) tied with Toldot & Vayigash; larger
than each one
1655 words - ranks 21st (5th in Shmot)
6149 letters - ranks 20th (6th in Shmot)
Rise in rankings from p'sukim to words & letters is a result of BO's p'sukim
being much longer than average for the Torah (longest in Sh'mot).
Mitzvot:
BO has 20 mitzvot; 9 positive, 11 prohibitions
The previous 18 sedras (i.e. the last 4 in D'varim, 12 of B'reishit, and the
first 2 of Sh'mot) contain a total of 5 mitzvot. After a long break, mitzvot
are back!
