Mishneh Torah, Prayer and the Priestly Blessing
Since the days of Ezra it has been the rule that an interpreter shall be present to interpret to the people what the reader is reading in the Torah, so that they may understand the subject-matter. The reader reads one verse only, waits till the interpreter has interpreted it, and then reads the next verse. The reader may not read to the interpreter more than one verse at a time.
