EMOR STATS

31st of 54 sedras; 8th of 10 in Vayikra

Written on 215 lines in a Sefer Torah (rank: 20th)

17 parshiyot; 11 open, 6 closed (above avg.)

124 p'sukim, rank: 15th; 1st in Vayikra

Same as Sh'mot, but shorter in words & letters

Very very close in number of lines; but number of parshiyot affects line-count because of the blank spaces between parshiyot.

1614 words, rank: 22nd; 2nd in Vayikra

6106 letters, rank: 23rd; 2nd in Vayikra

Relatively short p'sukim account for its drop in ranking in words and letters

MITZVOT

63 of the 613 mitzvot; 24 pos. 39 prohibitions

Only Ki Teitzei (with 74) has more mitzvot than Emor. Only K'doshim and Ki Teitzei are more mitzva-dense. Emor has more than one mitzva per two p'sukim, five times the Torah average.
