Haftarah Connection

Hosea 12.13-14.10

In our Parsha, Jacob gains power and wealth only through the intervention of HaShem. His skills and insight come from G-d. In the Haftara, the prophet Hosea talks about the story of Jacob to the people of Israel who are worshiping idols and believe that it is only their own abilities that have brought them wealth and power.

Jacob was only a success because he followed HaShem and with HaShem’s help he became what he was. This is the lesson that the Jewish people of Hosea’s time forgot.
