אֵלּוּ הֵן בֵּין הַפְּרָקִים, בֵּין בְּרָכָה רִאשׁוֹנָה לִשְׁנִיָּה, בֵּין שְׁנִיָּה לִשְׁמַע, וּבֵין שְׁמַע לִוְהָיָה אִם שָׁמֹעַ, בֵּין וְהָיָה אִם שָׁמֹעַ לְוַיֹּאמֶר, בֵּין וַיֹּאמֶר לֶאֱמֶת וְיַצִּיב. רַבִּי יְהוּדָה אוֹמֵר, בֵּין וַיֹּאמֶר לֶאֱמֶת וְיַצִּיב לֹא יַפְסִיק. אָמַר רַבִּי יְהוֹשֻׁעַ בֶּן קָרְחָה, לָמָּה קָדְמָה שְׁמַע לִוְהָיָה אִם שָׁמֹעַ, אֶלָּא כְדֵי שֶׁיְּקַבֵּל עָלָיו עֹל מַלְכוּת שָׁמַיִם תְּחִלָּה, וְאַחַר כָּךְ יְקַבֵּל עָלָיו עֹל מִצְוֹת. וְהָיָה אִם שָׁמֹעַ לְוַיֹּאמֶר, שֶׁוְהָיָה אִם שָׁמֹעַ נוֹהֵג בַּיּוֹם וּבַלַּיְלָה, וַיֹּאמֶר אֵינוֹ נוֹהֵג אֶלָּא בַּיּוֹם:

The following constitutes "between sections": between the first blessing and the second, between the second and Shema, between Shema and vehaya im shamoa, between vehaya im shamoa and vayomer, between vayomer and emeth veyatziv. R. Yehudah says: It is forbidden to interrupt between vayomer and emeth veyatziv. [For it is written (Jeremiah 10:10): "And the L-rd G-d is emeth." Therefore, it is forbidden to interrupt between ani hashem elokeichem and emeth. And this is the halachah.] R. Yehoshua b. Karcha said: Why was Shema placed before vehaya im shamoa? So that one first take upon himself the yoke of the kingdom of Heaven, and thereafter the yoke of mitzvoth. Why was vehaya im shamoa placed before vayomer? For vehaya im shamoa obtains both by day and by night [it being written therein (Deuteronomy 11:19): "And you shall teach them to your sons"; and the mitzvah of Torah study obtains both by day and by night.], whereas vayomer obtains only by day. [For it contains the section of the mitzvah of tzitzith, which does not obtain at night, it being written (Numbers 15:39): "And you shall see it."]
