The following is the standard Haftorah for this week's Torah reading. However, various calendar-based considerations occasionally cause different Haftorahs to be substituted for the standard ones.
Jeremiah
Chapter 32
| 6. And Jeremiah said: The word of the Lord came to me, saying: |
| 7. Behold, Hanamel, the son of Shallum your uncle, is coming to you, saying: Buy for yourself my field that is in Anathoth, for the right of redemption is yours to buy it. |
| 8. Then Hanamel, my uncle's son, came to me in the prison yard, according to the word of the Lord, and said to me; Please buy my field that is in Anathoth, that is in the country of Benjamin, for the right of inheritance is yours, and you have the right of redemption; buy it for yourself." And I knew that this was the word of the Lord. |
| 9. So I bought the field from Hanamel, my uncle's son, which was in Anathoth, and weighed him the money, seven shekels and ten pieces of silver. |
| 10. And I wrote a bill of sale and signed it and took witnesses, and weighed the silver on a scale. |
| 11. And I took the deed of the purchase, that which was signed according to the law and the conditions, and that which was open. |
| 12. And I gave the deed of the purchase to Baruch the son of Neriah the son of Maaseiah in the presence of Hanamel my uncle and in the presence of the witnesses who signed the deed of purchase, in the presence of all the Jews who sat in the prison yard. |
| 13. And I charged Baruch in their presence, saying: |
| 14. So said the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel; Take these scrolls, this deed of purchase and the signed one and this open scroll, and put them into an earthen vessel so that they remain many years. |
| 15. For so says the Lord of Hosts, the God of Israel; Houses and fields and vineyards shall be purchased again in this land. |
| 16. And I prayed to the Lord after I had delivered the deed of purchase into the hand of Baruch the son of Neriah, saying, |
| 17. "Ho! O Lord God, behold, You have made the heaven and the earth by Your great power and Your outstretched arm, and nothing is hidden from You, |
| 18. Who exercises loving- kindness to thousands and requites the iniquity of the fathers in the bosom of the children who follow them, O Great and Mighty God, the Lord of Hosts is His Name. |
| 19. Who is great in counsel and mighty in carrying it out, for Your eyes are open to all the ways of mankind, to give everyone in accordance with his ways and in accordance with the fruit of his deeds, |
| 20. Who performed signs and wonders in the land of Egypt until this day, and in Israel and in mankind, and have made a name for Yourself as of this day. |
| 21. And You brought Your people Israel forth out of the land of Egypt with signs and with wonders and with a strong hand and with an outstretched arm and with great fearfulness. |
| 22. And You gave them this land which You swore to their fathers to give them, a land flowing with milk and honey. |
