Jerusalem Talmud Megillah
One writes Torah and Prophets together, the words of Rebbi Meïr. But the Sages are saying, one does not write Torah and Prophets together, but one may write Torah, Prophets, and Hagiographs together42While the sanctity of Torah is greater than that of the other parts of the Bible, one may write an entire Bible together, but not a Torah together with the portions of the prophets read as weekly Haftarah. Babli Bava Batra13b.. Rebbi Jeremiah in the name of Rebbi Samuel bar Rav Isaac: Torah and Ḥumashim have the same sanctity. One does not split a Torah into Ḥumashim, but one turns Ḥumashim into a Torah. Rebbi Yose said, this implies that a Torah which was split into Ḥumashim remains in its sanctity43Since the Ḥumashim may be put together to form a complete Torah, they could not have lost their sanctity by being split.. Rebbi Samuel bar Naḥman in the name of Rebbi Jonathan: One does not read in public from an incomplete Torah44Babli Giṭtin60a.. But was it not stated: 45This indicates how deficient a book may be and still be used in public. It is permitted to read in public in Genesis up to the deluge, in Leviticus up to it was on the eighth day46Lev. 9:1., in Numbers up to it was when the Ark travelled47Num. 10:35.? This Ursicinus48Legate of the Emperor Gallus. set fire to the Torah of the Sennabarites49From a place near Tiberias.. They came and asked Rebbi Jonah and Rebbi Yose, whether one may read from the scroll in public. They told them, it is forbidden. Not that it is forbidden but since they will feel so badly they will buy another one.
Tractate Sefer Torah
One should not write a scroll of Hallel or any other portion of a book of the Tanach for a child to study. Rabbi Yehuda says it is permitted to write a scroll containing just the text from the beginning of the Book of Genesis until, but not including, the generation of the flood or from the beginning of the Book of Leviticus until, but not including, the verse “It came to pass on the eighth day” (Leviticus 9:1). As for the other books, it is entirely forbidden to write portions of them. If, however, his intention is to finish the entire Torah (or other applicable) scroll in the future, it is permitted to temporarily write only a part of it.
Megillah
But is it not written, Vayehi on the eighth day (Leviticus 9:1), and it has been taught: On that day there was joy before the Holy One, blessed be He, as on the day when heaven and earth were created. For it is written, And it came to pass [vayehi] on the eighth day, and it is written there, And there was [vayehi] one day?
