Number of Words and Letters
I am trying to find out how many words there are in the Torah. Short of counting by hand, can you help?
The Aish Rabbi Replies:
According to my concordance (Avraham Even Shoshan), here are the stats.
| Book | # Parshas | # Chapters | # Verses | # Words | # Letters |
| Genesis | 12 | 50 | 1,534 | 20,512 | 78,064 |
| Exodus | 11 | 40 | 1,209 | 16,723 | 63,529 |
| Leviticus | 10 | 27 | 859 | 11,950 | 44,790 |
| Numbers | 10 | 36 | 1,288 | 16,368 | 63,530 |
| Deuteronomy | 11 | 34 | 955 | 14,294 | 54,892 |
| TOTAL | 54 | 187 | 5,845 | 79,847 | 304,805 |
Incidentally, Rabbi Even Shoshan wrote his concordance before the advent of computers! He wrote it by hand, and when there was a pogrom against the Jews, his work was destroyed. So he started from scratch and rewrote it.
