History of the 3-Year Torah Reading Cycle

Based on the Triennial Cycle as formulated and researched by scholars Charles Perrot, Cecil Roth, and Jacob Mann. Passages from the Apostolic Scriptures related by general themes or topics have been added to accompany the weekly sections of the Torah and Prophets.

If one believes that Yeshua the Messiah’s public ministry lasted 3 1/2 years as prophesied in Daniel 9:24-27, then the three-year Torah reading cycle seems to be about the length at which Yeshua discipled and taught his followers. Also, Sha’ul was given the revelation of the Good News directly through Yeshua the Messiah after a period of three years in Arabia and Damascus before he went up to Jerusalem to visit Kepha (cf. Galatians 1:11-18). Thus, a teaching cycle of three years seems to be consistent with learning the Torah and Good News.

“…For the triennial cycle, however, the primary impetus for choosing a particular haftarah reading was verbal rather than thematic, the opening of the haftarah reading containing some word or words found in the opening of the Torah portion. For example, the [portion] that begins with Genesis 8:1, “But God remembered (zakar) Noaḥ̣” is matched with Habakkuk 3:2, which contains the phrase “in wrath remember (zakar) mercy.” Likewise, the seder which begins at Genesis 8:15, “God said to Noaḥ̣, ‘Go out (yatza’) from the ark…” is matched with Isaiah 42:7, “To bring out (yatza’) the prisoners from the dungeon.” But it was not only similar vocabulary that governed the choice of the haftarah for the triennial cycle. There was also the concerted effort to emphasize the messianic kingdom as a dominant theme…” – Tim Hegg, President / Instructor of TorahResource 

We don’t know the exact reading schedule Yeshua followed in the 1st Century. However, “…what is certain is that the reading of Scripture, the Torah and Prophets, followed by a teaching that explicated its meaning and application, was a central part of the synagogue service in the early 1st Century and provided a key element for defining the Jewish community in the days of our Master (Yeshua). The same must be true of our own assemblies, for it is the centrality of the Scriptures, understood and applied to our daily lives, that will enable us to walk in the footsteps of Yeshua as His true disciples.” -Tim Hegg
