Tanakh by Parasha
The Torah by the weekly parasha, each parasha read over five or six days, with a Nĕviʾim and a Kĕthuvim reading alongside so all of Tanakh is finished by Wĕzoʾth Habbĕrakha. Within each parasha the days are balanced by word count and end on a pĕthuḥa or sĕthuma wherever the length allows. The Nakh readings follow the Rambam’s book order (Hilkhoth Sefer Tora 7:15) and are sized so each day’s total stays even. The last day of each week is kept free for catching up.
How the plan was made
Each parasha is split on its own into five or six days, so the length of a day follows the length of the parasha: Wayyelekh days are short and Nasoʾ days are long. Within a parasha the split minimizes squared deviation from an even share plus a cost for each kind of break: nothing for a pĕthuḥa or sĕthuma, a little for an ‘ăliyya boundary or a hand-picked scene break, more for a bare chapter end. Three days in the 6-day plan end at an ordinary verse, in Pĕqudhe, Tazriaʿ and Qĕdhoshim, where the parasha has too few section breaks.
Nĕviʾim and Kĕthuvim follow the Rambam’s list: Yĕhoshuaʿ, Shofĕṭim, Shĕmuʾel, Mĕlakhim, Yirmĕya, Yĕḥezqeʾl, Yĕshaʿya, Tĕre ʿĂsar; Ruth, Tĕhillim, ʾIyyov, Mishle, Qoheleth, Shir Hashshirim, Qinoth, Daniyyeʾl, Mĕgilla, ʿEzraʾ (with Nĕḥemya), Divre Hayyamim. After the Torah reading, the rest of the day’s target is split between them in proportion to their size, so a long Torah day gets shorter Nakh portions and the day’s total stays near the average. In Tĕhillim every psalm boundary counts as a section break.
In a year when two parashiyyoth are read together, read both in that week. The plan has no extra weeks, so a doubled week means two days’ readings on each day, or using the catch-up days ahead of time. When a festival displaces a Shabbath reading, the plan simply waits a week.
Text and section marks follow the Leningrad Codex (Westminster edition), so a handful of pĕthuḥoth and sĕthumoth differ from the Aleppo tradition as recorded by the Rambam. Verse numbers follow the standard Jewish numbering, including the Decalogue.
