Question: Who knows two hundred eighty-five?
----------------------------------

?חמישה ושמונים ומאתים - מי יודע
-------------------------------

In the spirit of the song ["Echad - mi yodeya"](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Echad_Mi_Yodea), please post interesting and significant Jewish facts about the number 285.

The best lazy gematria I can come up with for this one is weak, but that's no reason to be cowed.

Check out [mi-yodeya-series](/questions/tagged/mi-yodeya-series "show questions tagged 'mi-yodeya-series'") for the previous two hundred eighty-four entries in this ongoing series.

Please include sources for your information wherever possible, as with all other answers on this site.

Answer: 
As Alex correctly noted here [Arba'a Ushmonim Umatayim - mi yodeya?](https://judaism.stackexchange.com/questions/12394/arbaa-ushmonim-umatayim-mi-yodeya/12404#12404) 285 is the most psukim read on a regular shabbat in sefard/chassidishe shuls:

* Mattot 112
* Ma'asei 132
* Maftir 3
* Haftora 27
* Mincha 11
* TOTAL 285

Note the longer haftorah than the previous answer.
