Triennial reading of Parashat Devarim: I suspect an error

Lea S 10 months ago updated by Michael J. Radwin 10 months ago 1

Triennial reading of Parashat Devarim: I suspect that there is an error in the third Aliyah - should it not be Psukim 8-11, rather than Psukim 8-10? There isn't even a "star" after the 10th pasuk. On the other hand, the שני marker in תיקון קוראים starts at Pasuk 12.

Hi, thanks for using Hebcal. We double-checked and the triennial divisions as published are indeed correct. The third triennial aliyah should be 1:8-10.

Our triennial aliyot divisions correspond with both the CJLS triennial divisions and the traditional full kriyah aliyot divions (the first full kriyah aliyah ends at verse 10).

For an explanation for why the aliyah concludes with verse 10, see below excerpt from the 5783 Luah Hashanah by Rabbi Miles Cohen (highlighting mine)
