Here is a link to Bible reading plans to read through the Bible in a time amount you select and in different ways including chronologically.

If you have been using this chart and want to continue using it, I will update the dates if you email me. But, after reading these verses for a year, our group is going to follow the SPIRIT’s leading for the readings of each week while keeping these verses in mind. One reason, is the whole Bible would never get read if these are the only verses you read.

Scripture Readings for Shabbat and Holidays

The Parshiot portions were made during the time of Ezra, Haggai, and Zechariah [ref] (Ezra 5:1).
(The Haftarah includes the Karaite and Romaniote readings, because they are the only ones who include Psm 61:1, 2, which was read by YESHUA in Luk 4:18, 19.)

There is also a 3 year cycle listed HERE. Both were used during the time of YESHUA. The 3 year cycle was used in the land of Yisra’el/Israel, while the yearly cycle was used by the exiles from Babylon and became more popular until that is mostly all that is used during our time [ref]. The three year cycle has Isa 53 while the yearly cycle does not.
