Mikeitz Stats
10th of 54 sedras; 10th of 12 in B'reishit
Written on 254.6 lines in a Sefer Torah, rank: 6th
The sedra is a single Parsha P'tucha (open) (the longest parsha in the whole
Torah)
146 p'sukim - ranks 8th (5th) tied with B'reishit
2022 words - ranks 3rd (2nd)
7914 letters - ranks 2nd (first)
Mikeitz's p'sukim are unusually long for a big sedra. That's why it is so
high in the rankings for words and letters. On the other hand, with no
parsha breaks, the "number of lines" drops
This Shabbat we read an additional 13 p'sukim, 158 words, 638 letters.
That's enough to tie it for 3rd in p'sukim, move it to 2nd in words, and
keep it 2nd in letters. But not quite enough to pass Naso, which remains top
in P, W, and L.
