Here are the Torah, Haftarah and suggested Brit Chadasha (New Testament) readings for Torah portion Ekev “Because.”

• Deuteronomy 7:12-11:25
• Isaiah 49:14-51:3
• Hebrews 11:8-13

The seven aliyot readings from the Torah begin at these verses:

1. Deuteronomy 7:12
2. Deuteronomy 8:11
3. Deuteronomy 9:4
4. Deuteronomy 10:1
5. Deuteronomy 10:12
6. Deuteronomy 11:10
7. Deuteronomy 11:22

Maftir: Deuteronomy 11:22
(In this reading the maftir repeats the seventh aliyah.)

Torah Portion readings and the associated Haftarah readings generally follow the Stone Edition Chumash and/or the Complete Jewish Bible. Verse numbering generally follows the Hebrew tradition, and where modern Christian traditions differ those verse numbers are shown in parentheses (). Haftarah readings generally follow the Ashkenazi tradition. Where the Sephardic tradition differs, the Haftarah portions are designated as (A) and (S). Suggested New Testament readings are taken from the Walk! series of Messianic Devotion Commentaries by Dr. Jeffrey Enoch Feinberg.
