Torah: Exodus 1:1-6:1, Isaiah 27:6-28:13; 29:22-29:23,Acts 7:17-35;1Cor 14:18-25

The parashah and haftarah in Isaiah 27 both addresses how Israel could prepare for God's deliverance. Rashi in his commentary on Isaiah 27:6–8 drew connections between the fruitfulness of Isaiah 27:6 and Exodus 1:4, between the killings of Isaiah 27:7 and God's slaying of Pharaoh's people in, for example, Exodus 12:29, and between the winds of Isaiah 27:8 and those that drove the Reed Sea in Exodus 14:21.
