Our Annual Parsha Schedule
Genesis 32:22-30 relates the story of how Ya'acov struggled through the night with Elohim. It is a physical encounter on the banks of the Yabok River in which Ya'acov refused to yield, but strove with Elohim to gain understanding and assurity of God's presence and blessing on Ya'acov's journey "home".
We all struggle at times in our life journey, often through the night or in quiet times, with a similar dilemma: "What is it that Elohim wants of Me?". Or "How can I know I am doing what God wants me to do?" Or "How can I be sure that God is with me?"
Examples of other human/Divine struggles can be found throughout Scripture. Even Y'shua, in His human form, took time to be with the Father and pray with submission, struggling to be sure of the will of Elohim. We certainly know that, even in His childhood, Y'shua studied the ancient texts for we are told He "argued" them with the scribes and pharisees in His twelfth year. (Luke 2:41ff)
The reading and study of God's Word is important if we are to hear and recognize the voice of Elohim in our lives, if we are to know and follow His will for us.
The Parshiot are regular weekly reading portions of the Torah and the Hahftorah which have been established since ancient times. Each Parshiot schedule begins on the Shabbat following Simchat Torah in the Fall and continues through the year until the Beginning of Sukkot the next Fall.
The ancient Jewish (and thus basic) Parshiot series is formed by dividing the Torah (the first five books of the Older Covenant) into 54 sections. Then related passages from the HahfTorah are added to each section. The HahfTorah includes passages from the Nevi'im (Prophets) or K'tuvim (Writings), along with other segments of the Tanakh (Older Covenant).
Beth Roay Tov Ministries has built upon these ancient Parshiot lists, using material from (at least 5) other outside Jewish and Messianic sources, as well as from years of personal study and experience, to develop our own Messianic Parshiot Study Schedule which also includes related passages from the B'rit Chadashah (Newer Covenant) to round off your readings and study.
While the Parshiot from the Torah has long been established and is generally accepted as complete and unchanging, we hold that the remaining parsha schedule is a "living document". In other words, as new passages from the Hahftorah and B'rit Chadashah come to our attention as important, they will be added, and as others may seem less connected, they will be removed.
For the most part, we will use the verse numbering in the Torah portions from the Sephardic tradition (based on Stern's Complete Jewish Bible, 1998). Because of this, Reading passages may be out by a verse here or there. You are encouraged to use your judgement to end the passage in the most logical place according to the subject matter, when such a discrepancy occurs.
In our attempts to make study more complete and yet simple, we invite readers and sojourners alike to join us in our Journey through the Scriptures and offer these Parshiot lists for your guidance.
By passing the cursor over the Parsha page in the navigation bar to the left, you will cause a new indicator to "pop" out. Simply click on the appropriate indicator / page.
The Beth Roay Tov Parsha lists are created without a specific date. You will want to consult a Messianic calendar to ascertain the proper parsha for the date you need.
