The Haftorah for Parshat Emor

The Laws that Apply to the Kohanim in the 3rd Bait Hamikdash ~ Holy Temple

THE HAFTORAH IS READ FROM THE BOOK OF YECHEZKEL (EZEKIEL), 44:15-31

Ezekiel’s floor plan from his prophetic vision of the 3rd & Final Beit Hamikdash (Holy Temple) Ezekiel Ch. 40-48

The connection of the Haftorah to the Parsha: This week’s Parsha discusses the laws of the Kohanim in the Mishkan, the Tabernacle, while the Jews were traveling for 40 years in the Sinai desert. Similarly, the Haftorah discusses the laws and tasks of the Kohanim who will serve in the Third and final Beit Hamikdash, Holy Temple.
