The floating being here in the top of this image is us. Israel – whose original name Jacob sometime is translated as “heel.” In the physical realms, we are referred to as Jacob, whereas in the spiritual realms we are Israel. And here we are in the physical realm threatened, turning on our heels from one place to another. Jeremiah prophesies we will return to the mountains of Tabor and Carmel. Before this though comes the invasions. This time from the north with Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon intent on destroying the now weak Egyptians who will run away like fatted beef from the onslaught of the armies of Babylon. As the parsha speaks of the obliteration by Hashem of the arrogant and ignorant pharaoh and his people, here in the haftorah they again are victims of their own blindness and violence.
