Friday 1 January to Friday 31 December 2027. The chronological OT and NT are each divided into 313 reading days. Every Saturday has no chronological reading and shows that week's Torah portion instead.
313reading days (365 − 52 Saturdays)
≈ 74OT verses per day
≈ 25NT verses per day
≈ 13 minreading a day (6–18)
How it is put together
- 313 reading days, not 213. 2027 starts and ends on a Friday and has 52 Saturdays, so 365 − 52 = 313.
- Shabbat shows only the Torah portion. Up to 23 October these are the portions from your weekly Torah plan. From 30 October the new cycle starts with Bereishit (diaspora calendar, the same as your plan), up to Vayeshev on 25 December.
- Four Saturdays are festival days without a weekly Torah portion: 24 April (Pesach), 12 June (Shavuot), 2 October (Rosh Hashanah) and 16 October (Sukkot). There are Holiday portions available in congregations that celebrate this, but not in this year plan. On 23 October (Shmini Atzeret) this plan has V'Zot HaBerachah, which is actually read on the day after (Simchat Torah), for a better flow of the calendar.
- Same rules as the 365-day version: the opening of John (1:1–5) comes first on day 1, because it looks back to Genesis 1; John 1:6–22 then follows after Luke 1 on day 4, psalms stay whole, and Psalm 119 is split into its four songs over days 174–177: 1–32 (Aleph–Dalet), 33–80 (He–Yod), 81–128 (Kaf–Ayin), 129–176 (Pe–Tav).
- KJV, WEB and SV give the same passages. All references use the KJV verse numbers, also in Dutch, so they match the numbers on the daily page. Where the Hebrew or Greek numbers differ, the daily page shows them in [brackets]. One WEB difference: the WEB places Romans 16:25–27 at 14:24–26 (3 October).
- Reading times assume about 200 words a minute for silent reading. Reading aloud takes roughly a third longer.
