More commandments than any other portion. The captive woman, the rights of the unloved wife's firstborn, the wayward son; returning a lost object, the parapet on the roof, sending away the mother bird, honest weights, the wage paid the same day, divorce and levirate marriage—and remember what Amalek did.
