Die Strafe Israels in Jeremiah 46.28 bezieht sich darauf, falschen Göttern gedient zu haben. Der falsche Dienst war die intergeschlechtliche Verstümmelung, erst unter Pharao (female IGM) und dann unter Nebukadnezar (male IGM).

Israel's punishment in Jeremiah 46:28 refers to having served false gods. The false service is intersex mutilation, first under Pharaoh (female IGM) and then under Nebuchadnezzar (male IGM).

Today I learned that there were other #haftarah readings where we now have the special ones surrounding Tisha b'Av. I wondered about this during one of the haftarot of consolation this year, asked on Codidact, and tonight got an answer listing the original readings as listed by #Rambam. Neat!

This week's Haftarah is straight fire. An absolute dynamite ending too.

Micah 6:6-6:8

"With what shall I approach GOD,
Do homage to God on high?
Shall I approach with burnt offerings,
With calves a year old?

Would GOD be pleased with thousands of rams,
With myriads of streams of oil?
Shall I give my first-born for my transgression,
The fruit of my body for my sins?

“You have been told, O mortal, what is good,
And what GOD requires of you:
Only to do justice
And to love goodness,
And to walk modestly with your God."

There is no such thing as "Haftorah."

The word "#Torah" comes from the word #teaching. A teacher is "Morah," and a parent is "Horeh." Parents are often the ones who teach us Torah.

#Haftarah comes from a completely different #Hebrew word. It means "additional," and is related to the word Maftir, the additional Torah reading.

To English ears, Haftarah and Torah sound similar. That leads to the common misspelling and mispronunciation, "Haftorah."
