אִם קָרְאוּ לְאֶחָד רַק בּ' פְּסוּקִים, וּבֵרֵךְ בְּרָכָה אַחֲרוֹנָה צָרִיךְ לַחְזֹר וְלִקְרֹת, וִיבָרֵךְ בְּרָכָה לְפָנֶיהָ וּלְאַחֲרֶיהָ. וְכֵיוָן שֶׁלְּאַחַר בְּרָכָה אַחֲרוֹנָה, הֲוֵי הֶסַּח הַדַּעַת, עַל כֵּן צָרִיךְ לְהַתְחִיל גַּם בָּרְכוּ וַיִּקְרָא בּ' פְּסוּקִים שֶׁקָּרָא תְחִלָּה, וְעוֹד פָּסוּק אֶחָד עִמּוֹ, וְאִם קָרָה זֹאת בַּשְּׁלִישִׁי, צְרִיכִין לִקְרֹת עוֹד בּ' פְּסוּקִים, שֶׁיִּהְיוּ כֻלָּם דּ' פְּסוּקִים. וְאִם קָרָה זֹאת בְּכֹהֵן שֶׁלֹּא קָרָא רַק בּ' פְּסוּקִים, וּכְבָר קָרְאוּ אַחֲרָיו לֵוִי, וְנִזְכְּרוּ אַחַר כָּךְ, אֲזַי הַדִּין כֵּן הוּא, אִם הַלֵּוִי עֲדַיִן לֹא בֵּרֵךְ בְּרָכָה רִאשׁוֹנָה, וְאַף שֶׁאָמַר בָּרְכוּ לֹא הֲוֵי הַתְחָלַת הַבְּרָכָה, וְלָכֵן יַחְזֹר הַכֹּהֵן וְיִקְרָא גּ' פְּסוּקִים בִּבְרָכוֹת, כְּמוֹ שֶׁכָּתַבְתִּי, וְהַלֵּוִי יַמְתִּין וְיִקְרָא אַחַר כָּךְ. אֲבָל אִם כְּבָר בֵּרֵךְ הַלֵּוִי, אָז יִקְרְאוּ עִם הַלֵּוִי מִמָּקוֹם שֶׁפָּסַק הַכֹּהֵן. (שֶׁאִם יִקְרְאוּ לְהַלֵּוִי מַה שֶּׁקָּרְאוּ לְהַכֹּהֵן, יִהְיֶה פְּגָם לְהַכֹּהֲנִים אֲשֶׁר הֵמָּה שָׁמָה, כִּי יֹאמְרוּ שֶׁהַלֵּוִי הִתְחִיל לִקְרֹת בַּתּוֹרָה). וְאַחַר הַלֵּוִי יִקְרְאוּ שְׁנֵי יִשְׂרְאֵלִים שֶׁיִּהְיוּ שְׁלשָׁה קְרוּאִים, וְהַכֹּהֵן אֵינוֹ מִן הַמִּנְיָן, כֵּיוָן שֶׁלֹּא קָרָא רַק בּ' פְּסוּקִים. וְאִם קָרָה כֵן בְּלֵוִי, שֶׁלֹּא קָרָא רַק בּ' פְּסוּקִים, וְהַיִשְֹרָאֵל כְּבָר בֵּרַךְ יִקְרְאוּ לְהַיִשְֹרָאֵל אֵלּוּ בּ' פְּסוּקִים שֶׁקָּרָא הַלֵּוִי, וְעוֹד פָּסוּק אֶחָד וְיִקְרְאוּ עוֹד יִשְֹרָאֵל אֶחָד לְתַשְׁלוּם גּ' קְרוּאִים. וְאִם לֹא הָיָה כֹּהֵן בְּבֵית הַכְּנֶסֶת, וְקָרְאוּ יִשְֹרָאֵל בִּמְקוֹמוֹ, וְאֵרַע כֵּן שֶׁלֹּא קָרְאוּ לוֹ אֶלָּא שְׁנֵי פְּסוּקִים, וְלֹא נִזְכְּרוּ עַד לְאַחַר שֶׁקְּרָאוֹ יִשְֹרָאֵל שֵׁנִי, וּבֵרַךְ, אֲזַי יַתְחִיל הַיִשְֹרָאֵל הַשֵּׁנִי מִתְּחִלַּת הַסִּדְרָה, וְהַיִשְֹרָאֵל הָרִאשׁוֹן יַמְתִּין וְיִקְרָא אַחֲרָיו, וְאַחֲרָיו יִקְרְאוּ עוֹד לְיִשְֹרָאֵל.

If only two verses were read for an oleh, and he already recited the last berachah, the reading must be repeated and the first and last berachos must be repeated. And, since upon the completion of the last berachah his mind was diverted [from the reading], therefore, he must begin again at Barechu …⁴⁹Unlike paragraph 18 where Barechu need not be repeated because there his mind is still on the reading, whereas in our situation having completed the after-berachah, one feels that his portion is completed. and the two verses already read should be repeated plus one more verse [to complete the three]. If this [error] occurred at the third aliyah⁵⁰Aliyah—lit. ascendence [to the Torah]. [and for the two preceeding (olim) only three verses were read for each], two more verses must be read so that the total is four verses. If this [error] occured at the Kohein's aliyah that only two verses were read, and the Leivi has already been called, and then they remembered [the error] then the rules are as follows: if the Leivi has not yet recited the first berachah though he may have already said Barechu …, it is not considered the start of the berachah. Therefore, three verses should be re-read for the Kohein, with the appropriate berachos, as we have previously written. The Leivi [who was called] waits and he reads afterwards. But, if the Leivi already said the first berachah, then the Leivi's reading begins from the place that the Kohein's ended. [This is done] because if the reading for the Leivi includes [the two verses] of the Kohein's reading, it will be construed as a defect for the Kohanim who are present there, because [those who have just entered] will say that the Leivi began the reading of the Torah.⁵¹I.e. these people will assume that none of the Kohanim were called because their lineage was found to be defective. After the Leivi, two Yisraels should be called up, so that the minimum of three are called up. The Kohein's [aliyah] does not count since only two verses were read for him. If this [error] occurred at the Leivi's aliyah, that only two verses were read and the Yisrael has said the [first] berachah, [then] we read for the Yisrael the two verses which were read for the Leivi plus one more verse. [Then] one more Yisrael is called up to complete [the required] three aliyos. If a Kohein was not present in the synagogue and a Yisrael was called instead, and the same happened [to him] [that is,] only two verses were read for him, and they did not realize it until after they called a second Yisrael and [the second Yisrael] recited the berachah, then the reading for the second Yisrael begins at the beginning of the sidrah.⁵²Sidrah—the portion of Scripture for that week. The first Yisrael waits, and is called again for the next aliyah, and afterwards another Yisrael is called.⁵³Thus completing the three required aliyos.
