EMOR STATS
31st of 54 sedras; 8th of 10 in Vayikra
Written on 215 lines in a Sefer Torah
17 parshiyot; 11 open, 6 closed
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 positive
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.
