Original text
<b>סדר קריאת התורה בסוכות. ובו סעיף אחד:</b><br>מוציאין שני ספרים באחד קורים שור או כשב בפרשת אמור ובשני קורא המפטיר קרבנות המוספין ובחמשה עשר יום לחודש השביעי ומפטיר בזכריה הנה יום בא וגו':
The order of Torah reading on Sukkot: We take out two Torah scrolls. From the first we read "When an ox or lamb..." from Emor [Leviticus 22:27], and from the second we read the maftir from the section on mussaf sacrifices "On the fifth day of the seventh month" [Numbers 29:12]. The haftarah is from Zachariah "Behold a day is coming..." [14:1].
