God’s promise with Abraham in the parashah echoes in the haftarah, as the prophet assures exiled Israel of return and renewal.

Both the haftarah and parashah reference the Flood. Isaiah invokes God’s oath to show God’s promise of renewed loyalty to God’s people.

The theme of creation links the haftarah to the theologies of Creation in the Bible. The prophet expresses the continuity of divine action.
