Prophet Pearls #6-Toldot
Malachi 1:1-2:7
This week’s Prophet reading—traditionally called the Haftorah—is Malachi 1:1–2:7. It accompanies the Torah portion Toldot (Genesis 25:19–28:9).
Through the prophet Malachi God admonishes those who are in positions of leading and teaching His people. He indicts them for turning the worship of God into hollow rituals and disrespecting Him in ways that even human rulers would not tolerate. He then declares His plan to restore virtuous leaders and teachers, whose lips will preserve knowledge and impart righteous instruction. Listen to Keith Johnson and Nehemia Gordon as they discover priceless gems in this installment of Prophet Pearls:Exploring Biblical Prophecy for Yesterday, Today, and Tomorrow.
If you would like to listen to Keith and Nehemia discuss the Torah portions that correlate to the Prophet portions here are the original Torah Pearls programs recorded in 2011-2012.

Something that I’ve noticed is that Esav and the priests, both despised something. Esav despised being first born, and the priest despised the Name YHVH.
So, the point is that the priest in the time of Malakhi were more like Esav, who was hunter, than like Yaakov, being ‘ish tam yoshev ochalim’.
YHVH immakhem!
