Haftarah
The haftarah for parshah Matot is Jeremiah 1:1–2:3. The haftarah is the first of three readings of admonition leading up to Tisha B'Av.
When parshah Matot is combined with parshah Masei (as it is in 2012, 2013, 2015, 2016, and 2017), the haftarah is the haftarah for parshah Masei:
- for Ashkenazi Jews: Jeremiah 2:4–28 & 3:4.
- for Sephardi Jews: Jeremiah 2:4–28 & 4:1–2.
