Aliyah 1 — Deuteronomy 16:18-17:13
עלייה 1 — דברים 16:18-17:13Appoint judges and officers in all your gates. Justice, justice you shall pursue. No asherah, no pillar, no blemished offering. The idolater judged by two witnesses. The high court in the chosen place, and the elder who defies it.
Aliyah 2 — Deuteronomy 17:14-17:20
עלייה 2 — דברים 17:14-17:20When you say, I will set a king over me: from among your brothers, not many horses, wives or silver, and he writes his own Sefer Torah and reads it all his life.
Aliyah 3 — Deuteronomy 18:1-18:5
עלייה 3 — דברים 18:1-18:5The kohanim and Leviim have no portion; the gifts of the kohen: the foreleg, the cheeks and the stomach, the first shearing.
Back to top ↑Aliyah 4 — Deuteronomy 18:6-18:13
עלייה 4 — דברים 18:6-18:13A Levi who comes from any city may serve at the chosen place. No sorcery, divination or necromancy: be wholehearted with Hashem.
Back to top ↑Aliyah 5 — Deuteronomy 18:14-19:13
עלייה 5 — דברים 18:14-19:13A prophet like me Hashem will raise up for you. The false prophet. The three cities of refuge, and three more when the borders widen. The murderer is not sheltered. Do not move a boundary marker. Two or three witnesses, and the false witnesses.
Back to top ↑Aliyah 6 — Deuteronomy 19:14-20:9
עלייה 6 — דברים 19:14-20:9Boundary markers, two witnesses, the plotting witnesses. The kohen anointed for war: who goes home, the new house, the vineyard, the betrothed, and the fearful.
Back to top ↑Aliyah 7 — Deuteronomy 20:10-21:9
עלייה 7 — דברים 20:10-21:9Offering peace before a siege. The seven nations. Do not cut down fruit trees. The eglah arufah, the calf whose neck is broken when a body is found between cities.
Back to top ↑Maftir — Deuteronomy 21:7-21:9
מפטיר — דברים 21:7-21:9The elders wash their hands over the calf: our hands did not shed this blood. Atone for Your people Israel.
Back to top ↑Haftarah — Isaiah 51:12-52:12
הפטרה — ישעיהו 51:12-52:12I, I am He who comforts you. Awake, awake, Zion; how beautiful on the mountains are the feet of the herald. The fourth haftarah of consolation.
