Parashah Reading and the 7 aliyah readers

For those who are new to Jewish practices:

On every Shabbat morning in Synagogue all over the world, the Torah scrolls are ceremoniously taken out from arks carried through the aisles to be touched reverently by the assembly of the Jewish people.

Seven people are called up to recite blessings before and after they have read the the sacred Hebrew text of the Torah from the scroll. The practice of public reading from the Torah dates back at least to the time of Ezra. The word parashah meaning portion read each week follows a prescribed sequence tied to the Jewish year. There are a total of 54 parashot for the entire year. The reading commences with Beresheet to Devarim. 34 on Simchat Torah the following year, when with great joy the scroll is immediately re-rolled and Beresheet 1 is read again.

The reading from the scripture does not end just with the Torah portion. After the Torah portion are read follows on the reading of prophets known as Haftarah (completion), Tehillim, or Ketuvim and Brit Hadashah.

The seven person who call up to read is called "aliyah". Being called up to the bimah (pulpit) for the Torah reading is an honor. The Hebrew word for such an invitation is aliyah it meaning "going up" it is the same word use for the meaning "immigrating to Yisrael" since it is a spiritual going up for a Yehudi to return to the land.

In this Hebraic Transliterated scripture in the Torah section will be equip with the following:

At the begining of each parashah, gives it name and the meaning which is often a phrases or word from the first few verse as the theme of the reading. Also with each Torah portion are bold-face printed red italicized (i; ii; iii; vi; v; vi; vii) indicating where each of the aliyot begins. Near the end of the seventh aliyah is the word Maftir whoever is to read the haftarah starts by reading these final verses of the Torah portion from the scroll or the scriptures and then reads the Neviim portion from the scriptures. Below is a video presented by Rabbi Jonathan hope give a better understand what has been explained. Baruch Hashem.

See chapter 9 the word murrain

Dever - murrain (Pronounced "mur'in") is a highly infectious disease of cattle and sheep. It literally means "disease" meaning plague or pestilence. This plague is a dreaded disease similar to the bubonic plague in the Middle Ages. It was likely carried by rat fleas and produced tumors on the infected person. Shemuel Alef 5-6 describes the plague on the Phishlim as a punishment from God. The word is also used as the most dreaded threat of the Lord against His people (Vayikra 26:25; Bamidbar 14:12). The Neviim use this word frequently to predict coming judgment and destruction as in the common phrase, sword, famine, and plague (Yirmeyahu 21:9; Yirmeyahu 38:2; Yechekiel 6:11).

Hebrew Text: מגילת אנטיוכוס -חנוכה Maccabees

"The First Book of the Maccabees covers the period of forty years from the accession of Antiochus (175 B.C.) to the death of Shimon the Maccabee (135 B.C.). Its contents are as follows: Ch. i. 1-9 is a brief historical introduction; i. 10-ii. 70 treats of the rise of the Maccabean revolt; iii. 1-ix. 22 is devoted to the Maccabean struggle under Yehuda; ix. 23-xii. 53, to the fortunes of Israel under Yonatan; xiii. 1-xvi. 24, to the administration of Shimon. The events are followed with intense interest and sympathy. At times the enthusiasm of the writer rises to a high pitch and breaks out into poetry of a genuine Semitic character (comp. iii. 3-9). The style is simple, terse, restrained, and objective, modeled throughout on that of the historical books of the Tanach. The fact that just proportions are observed in treating the different parts of the narrative proves the author to have been a writer of considerable skill. He dates all events in terms of the Seleucid era.

It is clear from the Semitic idioms which occur throughout the work that it was composed in a Semitic language (see, for example, ii. 40, iv. 2), and certain passages indicate with great clearness that the original language was Hebrew (see ii. 39, iii. 19). To this fact Origen and Jerome also bear testimony, though it is possible that the version or paraphrase known to them was Aramaic.

The Greek version seems to be a literal one, often preserving the Semitic, and sometimes even the Hebrew, idiom; but it is clear, and probably it is, on the whole, a satisfactory translation. It is transmitted in three uncial manuscripts of the Septuagint—the Codex Sinaiticus, the Codex Alexandrinus, and the Codex Venetus—as well as in several cursives."

IMPORTANT NOTE: since the only text we have today for this book was translated and transmitted by Christian sources, the present text may well contain intentional errors.

The contents of the book can be summarized as follows:

• Chapter 9-12: Continued warfare, led by Judas' brother Jonathan (160-143), who, benefiting from wars of succession in the Seleucid Empire, restores the fortunes of the Jewish nationalists and adds to their territories;
• Chapter 13-16: The third brother, Simon, achieves political independence, and founds the Hasmonaean dynasty

/ 2 Maccabees

The contents of the book can be summarized as follows:
