 Concealed acts concerned God; but with overt acts, it was for the Israelites to apply all the provisions of the Torah.The third reading (, "aliyah") and a closed portion (, "setumah") end here with the end of chapter 

In the fourth reading (, "aliyah"), Moses foretold that, after all these curses had befallen them, if they took them to heart in their exile, and they returned to God, and they heeded God's commandments with all their hearts and souls, then God would restore their fortunes, take them back in love, and bring them together again from the ends of the world to the land that their fathers possessed, and God would make them more prosperous and numerous.Then God would open their hearts to love God with all their hearts and souls, in order that they might live.
