Shisha Ushmonim Umatayim - mi yodeya?

Question

Who knows two hundred eighty-six?

In the spirit of the song "Echad - mi yodeya", please post interesting and significant Jewish facts about the number 286.

In casting about for a lazy gematria for this one, a lot seemed more appropriate for a different time on the calendar.

Check out mi-yodeya-series for the previous two hundred eighty-five entries in this ongoing series.

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

interesting fact, but what is the significance of it? – morah hochman Dec 28 '11 at 23:46
@morahhochman absolutely none that I can tell. I don't think significance is the only requirement. The question says "please post interesting and significant Jewish facts about the number 286.". I find this interesting, even if there is no significance. – HodofHod Dec 29 '11 at 00:36
