	In most modern Torah scrolls and Jewish editions of the Bible, there are two types of ''parashot'': An "open portion" (''parashah petuhah'') and a "closed portion" (''parashah setumah''). An "open portion" is roughly similar to a modern paragraph: The text of the previous portion ends before the end of the column (leaving a space at the end of the line), and the new "open" portion starts at the beginning of the next line (but with no indentation). A "closed portion", on the other hand, leaves a space in the ''middle'' of the line of text, where the previous portion ends before the space, and the next portion starts after it, towards the end of the line of text.

	A '''''parashah''''' ([[Hebrew (language)\|Hebrew]]: "portion," plural: ''parashot'' or ''parashiyyot'') formally means a section of a biblical book in the [[masoretic text]] of the [[Tanakh]] ([[Hebrew Bible]]). In common usage today the word often refers to the [[Weekly Torah portion]] (a shortened form of ''Parashat ha-Shavua''). This article deals with the first, formal meaning of the word.
