Emor

Emor ( — Hebrew for "speak," the fifth word, and the first distinctive word, in the parashah) is the 31st weekly Torah portion (, parashah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading and the eighth in the Book of Leviticus. It constitutes The parashah has the most verses (although not the most letters or words) of any of the weekly Torah portions in the Book of Leviticus, and is made up of 6,106 Hebrew letters, 1,614 Hebrew words, and 124 verses and can occupy about 215 lines in a Torah Scroll (, Sefer Torah). (Parashah Vayikra has the most letters and words of any weekly Torah portion in Leviticus.)

Jews generally read it in early May, or rarely in late April. Jews also read parts of the parashah, as the initial Torah readings for the second day of Passover and the first and second days of Sukkot.

The parashah provides purity rules for priests (, Kohanim), recounts the holy days, provides for lights and bread in the sanctuary, and tells the story of a blasphemer and his punishment.
