In traditional Sabbath Torah reading, the parashah is divided into seven readings, or , ''aliyot''. In the Masoretic Text of the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible), Parashah Vayishlach has six "open portion" (, ''petuchah'') divisions (roughly equivalent to a paragraph, often abbreviated with the Hebrew letter (''peh'')). The first open portion (, ''petuchah'') is further subdivided by two "closed portion" (, ''setumah'') divisions (abbreviated with the Hebrew letter (''samekh'')). The first open portion (, ''petuchah'') spans the first four readings (, ''aliyot'') and part of the fifth reading (, ''aliyah''). The two closed portion (, ''setumah'') divisions occur in the fourth reading (, ''aliyah''). The second and third open portion (, ''petuchah'') divides the fifth reading, (, ''aliyot'') and extends into the sixth. The fourth and fifth open portion (, ''petuchah'') divides the sixth reading (, ''aliyah'') and extends into the seventh. And the fifth and sixth open portion (, ''petuchah'') divisions divide the seventh reading (, ''aliyah'').〔See, e.g., ''The Schottenstein Edition Interlinear Chumash: Bereishis/Genesis''.
