Parsha

The term ''parashah'' ( he, פָּרָשָׁה ''Pārāšâ'', "portion", Tiberian , Sephardi , plural: ''parashot'' or ''parashiyot'', also called ''parsha'') formally means a section of a biblical book in the Masoretic Text of the Tanakh (a shortened form of ''Parashat HaShavua''). This article deals with the first, formal meaning of the word. In the Masoretic Text, ''parashah'' sections are designated by various types of spacing between them, as found in Torah scrolls, scrolls of the books of Nevi'im or Ketuvim (especially the Megillot), masoretic codices from the Middle Ages and printed editions of the masoretic text.

The division of the text into ''parashot'' for the biblical books is independent of chapter and verse numbers, which are not part of the masoretic tradition. ''Parashot'' are not numbered, but some have special names.

The division of ''parashot'' found in the modern-day Torah scrolls of all Jewish communities is based upon the systematic list provided by Maimonides in Mishneh Torah, ''Laws of Tefillin, Mezuzah and Torah Scrolls'', chapter 8. Maimonides based his division of the ''parashot'' for the Torah on the Aleppo Codex. The division of ''parashot'' for the books of Nevi'im and Ketuvim was never completely standardized in printed Hebrew bibles and handwritten scrolls, though important attempts were made to document it and create fixed rules.

Incorrect division of the text into ''parashot'', either by indicating a ''parashah'' in the wrong place or by using the wrong spacing technique, halakhically invalidates a Torah scroll according to Maimonides.

Purpose

A ''parashah'' break creates a textual pause, roughly analogous to a modern paragraph break. Such a pause usually has one of the following purposes:
#In most cases, a new ''parashah'' begins where a new topic or a new thought is clearly indicated in the biblical text.
#In many places, however, the ''parashah'' divisions are used even in places where it is clear that no new topic begins, in order to highlight a special verse by creating a textual pause before it or after it (or both).
#A special example of #2 is for lists: The individual elements in many biblical lists are separated by ''parashah'' spacing of one type or another.

To decide exactly where a new topic or thought begins within a biblical text involves a degree of subjectivity on the part of the reader. This subjective element may help explain differences amongst the various masoretic codices in some details of the section divisions (though their degree of conformity is high). It may also explain why certain verses which might seem like introductions to a new topic lack a section division, or why such divisions sometimes appear in places where no new topic seems indicated. For this reason, the ''parashah'' divisions may at times contribute to biblical exegesis.

History

''Parashot'' appear in manuscripts as early as the Dead Sea Scrolls, in which the division is generally similar to that found in the masoretic text. The idea of spacing between portions, including the idea of "open" and "closed" portions, is mentioned in early midrashic literature and the Talmud. Early masoretic lists detailing the Babylonian tradition include systematic and detailed discussion of exactly where portions begin and which type they are.

As a group, Tiberian masoretic codices share similar but not identical ''parashah'' divisions throughout the Bible. Unlike the Babylonian '' mesorah'', however, Tiberian masoretic notes never mention the ''parashah'' divisions or attempt to systematize them. This is related to the fact that the Babylonian lists are independent compositions, while the Tiberian notes are in the margins of the biblical text itself, which shows the ''parashot'' in a highly visible way.

In the centuries following the Tiberian ''mesorah'', there were ever-increasing efforts to document and standardize the details of the ''parashah'' divisions, especially for the Torah, and even for Nevi'im and Ketuvim as time went on.

Spacing techniques

In most modern Torah scrolls and Jewish editions of the Bible, there are two types of ''parashot'', an "open portion" (''parashah petuhah'') and a "closed portion" (''parashah setumah''). An "open portion" is roughly similar to a modern paragraph: The text of the previous portion ends before the end of the column (leaving a space at the end of the line), and the new "open" portion starts at the beginning of the next line (but with no indentation). A "closed portion", on the other hand, leaves a space in the ''middle'' of the line of text, where the previous portion ends before the space, and the next portion starts after it, towards the end of the line of text.

In some manuscripts and in many printed editions, an "open portion" (''petuhah'') is abbreviated with the Hebrew letter "פ" (''peh''), and a "closed portion" (''setumah'') with the Hebrew letter "ס" (''samekh''), often in place of the visual gap in the line. Rough English equivalents are "P" and "S" respectively.

In masoretic codices and in medieval scrolls, these two spacing techniques allowed for a larger range of options:
* An "open portion" ''always started at the beginning of a new line''. This could happen the way described above, but also by leaving a ''blank line'' between the two portions, thus allowing the previous portion to sometimes entirely fill its last line of text.
* A "closed portion" ''never began at the beginning of a line''. This could happen as in modern scrolls (a space in the middle of a line), but also by the previous portion ending before the end of the line, and the new portion beginning on the next line after an indentation.

Open portions often seem to reflect the beginning of a new topic or a major subdivision within a biblical book, while closed portions seem to reflect smaller units or minor subdivisions.

Most printed Hebrew bibles today represent the ''parashot'' using the more limited techniques found in typical modern Torah scrolls: A space in the middle of a line for a closed portion, and beginning at the start of the next line for an open portion (not a blank line). A notable exception is ''The Jerusalem Crown'' (The Bible of the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, 2000), whose typography and layout is fashioned after the Aleppo Codex, and follows the medieval spacing techniques for ''parashah'' divisions by leaving an empty line for and starts on a new line with an indentation.

Medieval Ashkenazic sources beginning with the Mahzor Vitry also refer to a third spacing technique called a ''parashah sedurah''. This involved starting a new ''parashah'' at the same point in the line where the previous ''parashah'' ended on the line above.

Halakhic significance

Validity of scrolls

According to the ruling of Maimonides (''Laws of Tefillin, Mezuzah and Torah Scrolls'' 10:1), any error regarding a ''parashah'' completely invalidates a Torah scroll. This includes a ''parashah'' in the wrong place, of the wrong type, or a missing ''parashah''.

However, there is also a responsum by Maimonides in which he ruled that one may recite a blessing over reading from an invalid scroll, based on the reasoning that the commandment is in the reading itself, not in the text being read from.

Maimonides' strict ruling that any error in the ''parashot'' completely invalidates a Torah scroll led to a major halakhic debate that continues to this day. Among those who ruled against Maimonides' stricture in practice were his son, Rabbi Abraham, Rabbi Menachem HaMeiri, Maharam Halava, Mahari Mintz, and Rabbi Ovadia Yosef.

All of the above authorities rule that a scroll containing ''parashot'' based on alternative scribal traditions that disagree with Maimonides' list of ''parashot'' (''Laws of Tefillin, Mezuzah and Torah Scrolls'', chapter 8) is nevertheless a valid scroll. However, even according to the lenient opinion, a blatant error with no source in any scribal tradition invalidates a Torah scroll.

Rules and customs for public reading

One basic halakhic rule for public reading of the Torah is that no fewer than three verses at a time be read. As a corollary to this, there is a specific rule regarding ''parashot'': One may not leave off reading less than three verses before the end of a ''parashah'', nor may one end off reading by starting a new ''parashah'' but leaving off less than three verses from its beginning.

When a Torah portion is read in public from a scroll as part of the synagogue service, it is divided into smaller sections among several people (for instance, 3 short sections on weekdays or 7 on the Sabbath). The points at which the portion is subdivided often take the ''parashot'' into account, but there is no hard and fast rule for this.

The selections from Nevi'im that are read as ''haftarot'' are based on custom. At times, some of these customs choose the exact beginning or end of a ''haftarah'' because it coincides with a ''parashah'' division.

Torah

Due to the influence of Maimonides, ''parashah'' divisions in the Torah have become highly standardized, and there is close to exact agreement among Torah scrolls, printed Jewish bibles, and similar online texts. The following list thus presents the ''parashah'' divisions as found in (a) modern Torah scrolls, (b) Maimonides' Mishneh Torah, and (c) the Aleppo Codex (based on several witnesses besides Maimonides to the ''parashot'' in its missing parts). Rare inconsistencies between these three sources are explained in footnotes.

The list is constructed as follows:
* Only breaks two sections are listed: Any open or closed ''parashah'' break, or , must always appear two biblical sections. The symbols and always indicate the status of the ''following'' section. In Genesis, for instance, " 5:32–6:4 " indicates a ''closed'' section (''setumah'') because it with . Therefore, no section break is indicated before the portion of a biblical book, or after its portion.
* The five books of the Torah have been broken down into their weekly Torah readings for convenience. The weekly Torah readings always begin at a ''parashah'' break, with the single exception of ''Vayechi'' (Genesis 47:28). The division into weekly readings is a prominent feature of the Tiberian masoretic codices along with the division into smaller ''parashot'', and they are indicated with a special flourish in the margin parallel to the line in which each one begins.
* Special series of ''parashot'' used for special types of text (such as chronologies, lists, step-by-step sequences, repeating formulas) are indicated.
* When a ''parashah'' ignores a chapter break, this is indicated for convenience by spelling out the exact verses from each chapter found in that parashah; for instance: 32:4–33; 33:1–17 . This system allows for immediate calculation of the number verses in the ''parashah'', and also facilitates easier comparison between the ''parashot'' and the chapter divisions.
* Variations found in alternative masoretic traditions (such as in the Leningrad Codex) are provided separately at the end of each book.
* Unusual data (such as an unusually lengthy ''parashah'') is underlined to draw special attention, followed by a parenthetical note identifying the contents of the ''parashah'' at hand.
* The first words of a ''parashah'' are sometimes provided in Hebrew for clarity, especially for ''parashot'' that appear within a verse. A prominent example is for the Ten Commandments. The titles of prominent ''parashot'' mentioned in rabbinic literature are also sometimes given.
*The verse numbering in this list is according to the system commonly found in most Hebrew editions. The numbers in translations (and even in some Hebrew editions such as BHS) may differ slightly.

Symbols:
* = ''parashah petuhah'' ("open portion"), typically resembles a new paragraph
* = ''parashah setumah'' ("closed portion"), typically represented as a blank space in the middle of a line
* = no ''parashah'' break indicated
* = Special format for songs; details of the special layout will be described in separate sections.

Testimony about the text of the Aleppo codex when it was still intact (by Kimhi) reveals that the form of the ''parashah'' at this point was a line of text that didn't reach the end of the column, followed at 34:1 by a line that began close to the beginning of the column. Identifying the type of ''parashah'' in such a context depends on whether the reader considers there to be a significant gap at the beginning of the line (in which case it is ''setumah'') or does not consider the gap to be significant (in which case it is ''petuhah''). This form of ''parashah'' is often indicated by a very small indentation in the extant parts of the Aleppo Codex, sometimes no wider than the space of one or two letters. Therefore, Penkower (p. 51 n. 125) and Ofer (pp. 306–307) suggest that Maimonides judged 34:1 to start at the beginning of its line without a significant gap, and was thus followed in later Torah scrolls. Other observers noted it as ''setumah'' (Kimhi, Sithon) or wrote conflicting notations (Amadi). 34:1–26 34:27–35

Leviticus

* Vayikra (parsha), Parashat Vayikra (Leviticus 1:1–5:26):
** 1:1–9 1:10–13 1:14–17 2:1–3 2:4 2:5–6 2:7–13 2:14–16 3:1–5 3:6–11 3:12–17 4:1–12 4:13–21 4:22–26 4:27–31 4:32–35 5:1–10 5:11–13 5:14–16 5:17–19 5:20–26
* Parashat Tzav (Leviticus 6:1–8:36):
** 6:1–6 6:7–11 6:12–16 6:17–23 7:1–10 7:11–21 Ashkenazic and Sephardic Torah scrolls lack an open portion at 7:22 (וידבר... דבר... כל חלב) while Yemenite scrolls have one. Conversely, Yemenite scrolls lack an open portion at 7:28 (וידבר... דבר... המקריב) while Ashkenazic and Sephardic scrolls have one. This situation derives from Maimonides' ambiguous formulation in ''Laws of Tefillin, Mezuzah and Torah Scrolls'', chapter 8, where he lists a series of six consecutive open ''parashot'' at this point in Leviticus, one of them beginning with the words "וידבר... דבר אל בני ישראל" ("The Lord spoke to Moses... Speak to the children of Israel..."). However, there are actually ''two'' places where this is found (Leviticus 7:22 and 7:28), and it is unclear which of them Maimonides was referring to. Thus, the scrolls that have a section break at 7:22 and those with a break at 7:28 are both implementing Maimonides' ambiguous formulation in two different ways. How this formulation by Maimonides accords with the Aleppo Codex has been discussed at length by Ofer (Cassuto, pp. 328–330) and Penkower (''New Evidence'', pp. 76–90). If the Aleppo Codex was indeed missing a ''parashah'' break at either 7:22 or 7:28, that would be unique among the 71 occurrences of "The Lord spoke to Moses..." in the Torah. Furthermore, all other Tiberian masoretic manuscripts have ''parashot'' in both places. Available data on this now-missing part of the codex is as follows: Rabbi Judah Ityah, who examined the codex to answer questions posed by Umberto Cassuto, reported that there were open ''parashah'' breaks at ''both'' 7:22 and 7:28. Earlier, Rabbi Samuel Vital (Responsa ''Be'er Mayyim Hayyim'' 27) also confirmed an open ''parashah'' at 7:22. Amadi, however, wrote two opposing notes at 7:22—that a ''parashah'' break is lacking and that the "Codex of Ezra" has a ''parashah'' here—which apparently refer to two different codices but it is unclear which ones. Ofer deals with the evidence by assuming that Ityah's report was correct and that Maimonides, in the process of adding sums to the final version of his list of ''parashot'' for ''Mishneh Torah'', counted "וידבר... דבר אל בני ישראל" once instead of twice. Penkower prefers an alternative explanation, namely that there was a small space at the end of the line preceding 7:22 which Maimonides did not consider significant, but which other witnesses thought indicated an open ''parashah'' break (pp. 79–80). Modern editions based on the Aleppo Codex show these ''parashot'' as follows: Breuer's first edition, published before most of this evidence became available, shows a break only at 7:28 (following the Yemenite tradition). His two later editions (''Horev'' and ''Jerusalem Crown'') show breaks at both 7:22 and 7:28, noting in the margin that "the scrolls of Ashkenaz and Sepharad" or "the scrolls of Yemen" lack a break in either place. The Feldheim ''Simanim'' edition shows a break only at 7:28, keeping to the tradition of Ashkenaz and Sepharad. 7:22–27 7:28–38 8:1–36

Nevi'im

''Parashot'' in Nevi'im are listed here according to the Aleppo codex, with variants from other masoretic traditions noted at the end of each book's section.

The Aleppo codex is intact for the bulk of Nevi'im. The few parashot noted here from its missing parts are listed according to the notes taken by Joshua Kimhi, who recorded the ''parashot'' of the Aleppo codex in the nineteenth century in the bible of Rabbi Shalom Shachna Yellin. These are indicated by an asterisk.

Jeremiah

Jeremiah is divided into distinct prophecies, each of which begins with an announcement of "the word of the Lord to Jeremiah" or a similar phrase. Each such prophecy begins a new open ''parashah'' in the Aleppo Codex, with the single exception of the sixth prophecy (14:1) that begins with a closed ''parashah'' .

The Aleppo codex is missing two folios from Jeremiah, and the folio following them is also partly torn. The missing text included parts of chapters 29–32. ''Parashot'' listed from the missing parts are based upon Kimhi's notes on the codex and marked with an asterisk (*).

Twelve Minor Prophets

The Aleppo Codex leaves four empty lines between each of the books of the Twelve Minor Prophets. The Leningrad Codex leaves three lines. ''Parashot'' within each of the twelve individual books are listed below.

The Aleppo Codex is missing seven folios from two different sections of the Twelve Minor Prophets. ''Parashot'' listed from the missing sections are based upon Kimhi's notes on the codex and marked with an asterisk (*). The two sections are: (a) three missing folios that included Amos 8:13 to the end, Obadiah, Jonah, Micah until 5:1 (מקדם); (b) four missing folios that included Zephaniah 3:10 (הארץ) to the end, Haggai, Zechariah until 9:17 (דגן).
