Hence, I have agreed with the unanimous judgment to choose this elect one; I have set him apart from among the people of this congregation. I have found him to possess an intelligent heart to elucidate [the Torah]; following righteousness and kindness along an upright path, whose heart has been awakened and his spirit moved to be the first, to commence the reading of the Torah, Now, arise Rabbi (name) son of (father's name) rise and gird yourself; come, occupy your station and stand at my right, and read the account of Creation, in honor of the Maker who created it. The start of the Torah's reading always at once follows its completion, so that he [the Satan] may not bring false slander against this nation [that they do not wish to begin the Torah again]. Since you have been selected as the one to open so perfect a mitzvah, how vast shall be your good and how plentiful your reward. Your kindly gaze shall be blessed so that your generosity shall not be withheld; out of the blessings of your Creator you shall receive blessing, that your [charitable] hand shall not be shortened, for all who royally honor the Torah shall themselves be honored and prove fortunate in their ability. Swiftly arise, arise, arise Rabbi (name) son of (father's name), Chatan Bereshit Bara; with the leave of this holy congregation to bless the great and awesome God. All will at once answer with Amen after you. Arise, Rabbi (name) son of (father's name), Chatan Bereshit Bara. shu|RAH ve|shu|RAH. k'vu|TZIM poh ha|YOM, le|sim|CHAT to|RAH. ve|ne-e|tza|RIM, le|sa|YEM u|le|ha|CHEL*, b'GIL uv|mo|RA*. o|TAH me|cha|be|VIM*, k'YOM ne|ti|na|TAH ba|ha|da|RAH. me|sal|se|LIM bah ka|cha|da|SHAH, ve|LO k'ya|sha|NAH* she-a|va|RAH*. tz'me-IM la|MOTZ u|le|hit|a|NEG*, mi|ZIV ye|ka|RAH. me|sa|ma|CHAT lev, ve-E|tzev me|si|RAH. tan|chu|me|HA* ye|sha-ash|U naf|SHAM, bah le|hit|pa-a|RAH. ve|ho|GIM b'mik|RA ve|ha|ga|DAH, b'mish|NAH ug|ma|RA*. ra|TZIM u|me|vi-IM* ta|PAM, le|VEIT ha-a|ti|RAH. ve-o|SIM gam ma-a|SIM, be-az|ha|RAH. la|CHEN ga|DOL s'cha|RAM, me-ET hag|vu|RAH*. al ro|SHAM, sim|CHAT o|LAM, k'shu|RAH*. te-a|VIM lir|OT, bin|YAN beit ha|be|chi|RAH*. uv|CHEN nis|KAM|ti, da-AT ku|LAM, le|va|re|RO*. ba|CHUR, ha|ri|mo|TIV me-AM, toch ha|cha|vu|RAH. me|tza|TIV lev na|VON, le|has|bi|RAH.

And the earth was shapeless and empty, darkness lay upon the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God hovered upon the face of the waters. God said: Let light come to be! And light came to be. And God saw the light, that it was good, and God divided between the light and the darkness. God named the light Day, and the darkness He named Night; (Cong. then reader) <b>Va-y'hi erev va-y'hi voker yom echöd</b> (evening came and morning came, one day). God said: Let a firmament be in the midst of the waters, and let it divide waters from waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters that were beneath the firmament from the waters that were above the firmament; and it was so. God named the firmament Heaven; (Cong. then reader) <b>Va-y'hi erev va-y'hi voker yom shayni</b> (evening there was and morning there was, a second day). And God said: Let the waters beneath the heaven be gathered unto one place and let the dry land come into view; and it was so. God named the dry land Earth, and the gathering of waters He named Seas; and God saw it to be good. God said: Let the earth put forth vegetation, herbage yielding seed, the fruit-tree bearing fruit after its kind, with its seed within it, upon the earth; and it was so.
