Sedra-Stats
VAYEIRA Stats
4th of the 54 sedras; 4th of 12 sedras in B'reishit
Written on 252 lines in a Sefer Torah, ranks 5th
6 Parshiyot; 4 open, 2 closed (pssppp)
147 p'sukim - ranks 7th (4th in B’reishit)
2085 words - ranks 2nd (first in B’reishit)
7862 letters - ranks 3rd (2nd in B’reishit)
P'sukim above average in length (i.e number of words and number of letters)
explain its rise in rankings from p'sukim to words (and letters). Vayeira is
actually 2nd largest sedra in the Torah. (Naso, is #1 with no rival -
Bamidbar, Pinchas, and R'ei all take up more lines than Vayeira, but those
sedras each have many parshiyot, which means a lot of blank space between
parshiyot which adds to the number of lines.)
Mitzvot:
none of the 613 mitzvot are in Vayeira, however, as mentioned often, there
are Midot and values and other lessons to be learned.
