Genesis 1:14 And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years:

Psalm 81:2 Take a psalm, and bring here the timbrel, the pleasant harp with the psaltery. 3 Blow up the shophar in the new moon [chodesh - renewal] [that is, the renewal of the moon - when you see the crescent of the Moon, it is a renewal of the Month], in the time appointed [fullness {full moon is the 15th of the Hebrew Month -- this is the 7 day Festival of Passover & 7 day Festival of Tabernacles}], on our solemn festival [in Hebrew, 'chag']. 4 For this was a statute for Israel, and a law of the God of Jacob. 5 This he ordained in Joseph for a testimony, when he went out through the land of Egypt: where I heard a language that I understood not.

The 50 Year Cycle of Torah Readings

       In the Land of Israel, into the fourth Century, the Congregations followed a Tri-ennial or Septennial Cycle of Torah Readings - This was the original Torah reading cycle. This means that The 5 books of Moses were divided up into sections to be read each week. The Torah was read and studied over a 3 1/2 year cycle - thus the term: Tri-ennial. The process would then restart and go through another 3 1/2 years. So, 3.5years + 3.5years = 7years - thus the term Septennial for 7 years. If you remember, Israel's Calendar was divided up into 7 year periods. After 7 of these 7 year periods, equaling 49 years, there was a Jubilee year on the 50th year. In that Jubilee year, the Torah (The 5 Books of Moses) was divided up into an Annual Cycle.

        After the Sanhedrin was banned and exiled out of Israel by the Romans, in the late 300's, the Annual Cycle was promoted to such an extent that the Tri-ennial / Septennial Cycle fell into disuse. Most of Judaism continues to follow the Annual Cycle and The Hebrew Roots Movement, in its various stages of development, continues to follow it also.

        There are a few versions of the Tri-ennial Cycle of Torah Readings.  The Regular Reading Cycle is interrupted by the Festival Readings during the year, so that, whether you're following The Annual or The Tri-ennial Cycle, all will be following the same Readings for Festivals and Special Sabbaths.

The 50 Year Cycle of Torah Readings 3 1/2 + 3 1/2 = 7years. 7 of these 7 years cycles  = 49 years + 1 Year = The 50th Year, the Yovel, or, The Jubilee Year.

Originally, In the Land of Israel, there was a 7 Year Cycle of Torah Readings, which was repeated for 49 Years, [7 x 7 = 49] and then, there was a Reading for the 50th Year - which, in English is called, The Jubilee Year - or, the 50th year Reading of the Torah, wherein the 5 Books of Moses were read in 1 year instead of the normal cycle 3 1/2 years. So then, we have 7 years times 7 years = 49 years. The 50th year is the Jubilee (in Hebrew it is called the Yovel). Tri-ennial means (3.5 years + 3.5 years) equaling a 7 year period of Torah Readings, which means Septennial. This is repeated for 49 years. This is also called the Septennial Cycle of Torah Readings 7x7 = 49 years & the 50th Jubilee Year Torah Reading is now called the Annual Cycle  The Weekly Readings from the Law (Torah - Instruction) of God

 

 

Our understanding of the Tri-ennial Cycle readings came from Rabbi Dr. Yosef ben Haggai of Bet Emunah Torah Institute, whom I studied under for 1 1/2 years. Our use of these are with his permission.
