Haftarah Malachi 1:1-2:7

ראשון (Rishon)

19 And these are the generations of Yitzchak, Avraham's son: Avraham begat Yitzchak:
20 And Yitzchak was forty years old when he took Rivkah to be his wife, the daughter of Bethu-El the Aramean of Padan-Aram, the sister of Lavan the Aramean.
21 And Yitzchak sought YHWHfor his wife, because she was barren: and YHWHwas found by him, and Rivkah his wife conceived.
22 And the children struggled together within her; and she said, If it is so, why am I like this? And she went to inquire of YHWH.
23 And YHWHsaid to her, Two nations are in your womb, and two kinds of peoples shall be separated from your bowels; and the one people shall be stronger than the other people; and the elder shall serve the younger.
24 And when her days to be delivered were fulfilled, see, there were twins in her womb.
25 And the first came out admoni, all over like a hairy garment; and they called his name Esav.
26 And after that came out his brother, and his yad took hold on Esav's heel; and his name was called Yaakov: and Yitzchak was sixty years old when she bore them.
27 And the boys grew: and Esav was a skilled hunter, a man of the field; and Yaakov was a plain man, dwelling in ohalim.
28 And Yitzchak loved Esav, because he did eat of his venison: but Rivkah loved Yaakov.
29 And Yaakov cooked pottage: and Esav came from the field, and he was faint:
30 And Esav said to Yaakov, Please feed me with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.
31 And Yaakov said, Sell me this day your bechora.
32 And Esav said, See, I am at the point of death: so what profit shall this bechora be to me?
33 And Yaakov said, Swear to me this day; and he swore to him: and he sold his bechora to Yaakov.
34 Then Yaakov gave Esav lechem and a pottage of lentils; and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: so Esav despised his bechora.

26

And there was a famine in the land, beside the first famine that was in the days of Avraham. And Yitzchak went to Avimelech melech of the Plishtim to Gerar.
2 And YHWHappeared to him, and said,Go not down into Mitzrayim; dwell in the land that I shall tell you about:
3 Sojourn in this land, and I will be with you, and will bless you; for to you, and to your zera, I will give all these countries, and I will perform the oath which I swore to Avraham your abba;
4 And I will make your zera to multiply as the cochavim of the shamayim, and will give to your zera all these countries; and in your zera shall all the nations of the earth be blessed;
5 Because Avraham obeyed My voice, and was shomer over My mishmeret, My mitzvot, My chukkot, and My torot.

6 And Yitzchak dwelt in Gerar:
7 And the men of the place asked him about his wife; and he said, She is my sister: for he feared to say, She is my wife; lest, said he, the men of the place should kill me for Rivkah; because she was beautiful to look at.
8 And it came to pass; when he had been there a long time that Avimelech melech of the Plishtim looked out at a window, and saw Yitzchak playing with Rivkah his wife.
9 And Avimelech called Yitzchak, and said, See, of a certainty she is your wife. So why did you say, She is my sister? And Yitzchak said to him, Because, I said otherwise I will die because of her.
10 And Avimelech said, What is this you have done to us? One of our people might have unknowingly lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt upon us.
11 And Avimelech charged all his people, saying, He that touches this man, or his wife shall surely be put to death.
12 Then Yitzchak sowed in that land, and received in that same year a hundredfold return: and YHWHblessed him.

שלישי (Shlishi)

13 And the man grew great, and went forward, and grew until he became very great:
14 For he had possessions of flocks, and possessions of herds, and a great supply of avadim: and the Plishtim envied him.
15 For all the wells that his abba's avadim had dug in the days of Avraham his abba, the Plishtim had stopped them, and filled them with earth.
16 And Avimelech said to Yitzchak, Go from us; for you are much mightier than us.
17 And Yitzchak departed from there, and camped his tent in the Valley of Gerar, and dwelt there.
18 And Yitzchak dug again the wells of mayim, which they had dug in the days of Avraham his abba; for the Plishtim had stopped them after the death of Avraham: and he called their names by the names that his abba had called them.
19 And Yitzchak's avadim dug in the valley, and found there a well of running mayim.
20 And the herdsmen of Gerar did strive with Yitzchak's herdsmen, saying, The mayim is ours: and he called the name of the well Esek; because they strove with him.
21 And they dug another well, and strove over that one also: and he called the name of it Sitnah.
22 And he moved from there, and dug another well; and for that one they strove not: and he called the name of it Rehovoth; and he said, For now YHWHhas made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.

רביעי (Revi’i)

23 And he went up from there to Beer-Sheva.
24 And YHWHappeared to him the same night, and said, I am the Elohim of Avraham your abba: fear not, for I am with you, and will bless you, and multiply your zera for My eved Avraham's sake.

25 And he built an altar there, and called upon the Name of YHWHand pitched his tent there, and Yitzchak's avadim dug a well.
26 Then Avimelech went to him from Gerar, and Ahuzzath one of his chaverim, and Phichol the chief captain of his army.
27 And Yitzchak said to them, Why do you come to me, seeing you hate me, and have sent me away from you?
28 And they said, We saw certainly that YHWHwas with you: and we said, Let there be now an oath between us, even between us and you, and let us make a brit with you;
29 That you will do us no ra'ah, as we have not touched you, and as we have done to you nothing but tov, and have sent you away in shalom: you are now the blessed of YHWH.

חמישי (Chamishi)

30 And he made for them a feast, and they did eat and drink.
31 And they rose up early in the morning, and swore one to another: and Yitzchak sent them away, and they departed from him in shalom.
32 And it came to pass the same day that Yitzchak's avadim came, and told him concerning the well that they had dug, and said to him, We have found mayim.
33 And he called it Shevah: therefore the name of the city is Beer-Sheva to this day.
34 And Esav was forty years old when he took his wife Yahudite the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Bashemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite:
35 Which caused grief of mind to Yitzchak and to Rivkah.

27

And it came to pass, that when Yitzchak was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esav his eldest son, and said to him, Beni: and he said to him, See, hinayni.
2 And he said, Hinei now, I am old; I know not the day of my death:
3 Now please take your weapons, your quiver and your bow, and go out to the field, and find me some

venison;
4 And make me tasty meat, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat it; that my being may bless you before I die.
5 And Rivkah heard when Yitzchak spoke to Esav his son. And Esav went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
6 And Rivkah spoke to Yaakov her son, saying, See, I heard your abba speak to Esav your brother, saying,
7 Bring me venison, and make me tasty meat, that I may eat, and bless you before YHWHbefore my death.
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command you.
9 Go now to the flock, and get me from there two tov kids of the goats; and I will make from them tasty meat for your abba, such as he loves:
10 And you shall bring it to your abba, that he may eat, and that he may bless you before his death.
11 And Yaakov said to Rivkah his eema, See, Esav my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man:
12 My abba will feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver; and I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a bracha.
13 And his eema said to him, Upon me be your curse, my son: only obey my voice, and go get them for me.
14 And he went, and took, and brought them to his eema: and his eema made tasty meat, such as his abba loved.
15 And Rivkah took nice clothing from her eldest son Esav, which were with her in the bayit, and put them upon Yaakov her younger son:
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth parts of his neck:
17 And she gave the tasty meat and the lechem, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Yaakov.
18 And he came to his abba, and said, My abba: and he said, Hinayni; who are you, my son?
19 And Yaakov said to his abba, I am Esav your bachor; I have done accordingly as you told me: Please arise sit up and eat of my venison, that your being may bless me.
20 And Yitzchak said to his son, How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because YHWHyour Elohim brought it to me.
21 And Yitzchak said to Yaakov, Please come near so that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esav, or not.
22 And Yaakov went near to Yitzchak his abba; and he felt him, and said, The voice is Yaakov's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esav.
23 And he discerned him not, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esav's hands: so he blessed him.
24 And he said, Are you really my son Esav? And he said, I am.
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my being may bless you. And he brought it near to him, and he did eat: and he brought him wine, and he drank.
26 And his abba Yitzchak said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
27 And he came near, and kissed him: and he smelled the smell of his clothing, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that YHWHhas blessed:

ששי (Shishi)

28 Therefore Elohim give you from the dew of the shamayim, and the fatness of the earth, and plenty of corn and wine:
29 Let people serve you, and amim bow down to you: be gevir over your achim, and let bnei immecha bow down to you: cursed be every one that curses you, and blessed be he that blesses you.
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Yitzchak had made an end of making the bracha upon Yaakov, that Yaakov had just gone out from the presence of Yitzchak his abba, and see, Esav his brother came in from his hunting.
31 And he also had made tasty meat, and brought it to his abba, and said to his abba, Let my abba arise, and eat of his son's venison, that your being may bless me.
32 And Yitzchak his abba said to him, Who are you? And he said, I am your son, your bachor Esav.
33 And Yitzchak trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who? Where is he that has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before you came, and have blessed him? Yes, and he shall be blessed.
34 And when Esav heard the words of his abba, he cried with a great and exceedingly bitter cry, and said to his abba, Bless me also, O my abba.
35 And he said, Your brother came with subtlety, and has taken away your bracha.
36 And he said, Is not he rightly named Yaakov? For he has supplanted me these two times: he took away my bechora; and, see, now he has taken my bracha! And Esav said, Have you not reserved a bracha for me?
37 And Yitzchak answered and said to Esav, See, I have made him your master, and all his brothers have I given to him for avadim; and with corn and wine have I sustained him: and what shall I do now for you, my son?
38 And Esav said to his abba, Have you not just one bracha, my abba? Bless me, even me also, O my abba. And Esav lifted up his voice, and wept.
39 And Yitzchak his abba answered and said to him, See, your dwelling shall be away from the richness of the earth, and away from the dew of the shamayim from above;
40 And by your sword shall you live, and shall serve your brother; and it shall come to pass when you shall have the dominion, that you shall break his yoke from off your neck.
41 And Esav hated Yaakov because of the bracha with which his abba blessed him: and Esav said in his lev, The yemei evel for avi are at hand; then will I slay Yaakovachi.
42 And these words of Esav her elder son were told to Rivkah: and she sent and called Yaakov her younger son, and said to him, See, your brother Esav, concerning you, does comfort himself by purposing to kill you.
43 Now therefore, beni, shema bekoli; and arise, flee to Lavan achi to Charan;
44 And stay with him a few days, until your brother's anger turns away;
45 Until your brother's anger turns away from you, and he forgets what you have done to him: then I will send, and get you from there: why should I be deprived of both of you in one day?
46 And Rivkah said to Yitzchak, I am weary of my chayim because of the daughters of Cheth: if Yaakov takes a wife from the daughters of Cheth, such as these who are of the daughters of the land, what tov shall my chayim be to me?

28

And Yitzchak called Yaakov, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Kanaan.
2 Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the bayit of Bethu-El your eema's abba; and take a wife from there from the daughters of Lavan your eema's brother.
3 And El-Shaddai bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you and you shall become a congregation

of nations;
4 And El-Shaddai give you the bracha of Avraham, to you, and to your zera with you; that you may inherit the land in which you are a ger, which Elohim gave to Avraham.

שביעי (Shavi’i)

5 And Yitzchak sent Yaakov away: and he went to Padan-Aram to Lavan, son of Bethu-El the Aramean, the brother of Rivkah, Yaakov's and Esav's eema.
6 When Esav saw that Yitzchak had blessed Yaakov, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take him a wife from there; and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Kanaan;
7 And that Yaakov obeyed his abba and his eema, and had gone to Padan-Aram.
8 And Esav seeing that the daughters of Kanaan did not please Yitzchak his abba;
9 Then went Esav to Yishma-El, and took besides the wives that he already had Mahalath the daughter of Yishma-El Avraham's son, the sister of Nevayoth, to be his wife.
