Acts 15: 21 reports that in the first century C.E., such reading was done on every Sabbath, and the Mishnah shows that by the second century, there were also Torah readings on the second and fifth days of the week.
در هر سبتی انجام می‌شد ،‏ و میشنا نشانگر این است که در قرن دوم نیز خواندن تورات در روزهای دوم و پنجم هفته وجود داشت .‏
