Vayeshev

Vayeshev, Vayeishev, or Vayesheb (וַיֵּשֶׁב — Hebrew for “and he lived,” the first word of the parshah) is the ninth weekly Torah portion (parshah) in the annual Jewish cycle of Torah reading. It constitutes Genesis 37:1–40:23. Jews read it the ninth Sabbath after Simchat Torah, generally in December.
