Aliyah 1 — Deuteronomy 3:23-4:4
עלייה 1 — דברים 3:23-4:4Moshe pleads to cross over and see the good land, and is told: enough, do not speak to Me more of this. Go up to the top of Pisgah and see it with your eyes. Those who clung to Hashem are all alive today.
Aliyah 2 — Deuteronomy 4:5-4:40
עלייה 2 — דברים 4:5-4:40Keep the laws, for they are your wisdom in the eyes of the nations. You saw no image at Chorev, only a voice. The warning against idols, the exile, and the return: from there you will seek Hashem and find Him. Has any nation heard the voice of God from the fire and lived? The longest aliyah.
Aliyah 3 — Deuteronomy 4:41-4:49
עלייה 3 — דברים 4:41-4:49Moshe sets aside three cities of refuge east of the Jordan. The introduction to the repetition of the covenant.

עלייה 5 — דברים 5:22-6:3The people ask Moshe to hear Hashem's words for them, and Hashem approves: if only their heart would be like this always. The mitzvot to be kept in the land.
Back to top ↑Aliyah 6 — Deuteronomy 6:4-6:25
עלייה 6 — דברים 6:4-6:25Shema Yisrael and Veahavta, the first paragraph of Kriat Shema. Do not forget Hashem when you eat and are satisfied. When your son asks tomorrow, we were slaves to Pharaoh in Egypt.
Back to top ↑Aliyah 7 — Deuteronomy 7:1-7:11
עלייה 7 — דברים 7:1-7:11The seven nations: no treaty, no intermarriage, destroy their altars. You are a holy people, chosen not because you are many but because Hashem loves you. He keeps the covenant to a thousand generations.
Back to top ↑Maftir — Deuteronomy 7:9-7:11
