6. On a Shabbos when two Torah portions are combined, the Haftorah of the second portion is recited, with the exception of "Acharei Mos" - "Kedoshim", for which [the passage beginning] "Halo chivnei Chushi'im" (Amos 9:7), [the Haftorah generally read for "Acharei Mos"], is recited.

In some Chumashim, [the passage beginning] "Vayivrach Yaakov..." (Hoshea 12:13) is mistakenly noted as the Haftorah for the portion "Vayishlach." Rather, this passage should be read as the Haftorah of the portion "Vayetzeh"(1). The Haftorah of "Vayishlach" [begins with the words] "Chazon Ovadiah."

FOOTNOTES:

(1) Sefardim begin the Haftorah of "Vayetzeh" from the passage "V'ami teluim..." (Hoshea 11:7); some Sefardic communities continue until Hoshea 13:5, thereby overlapping the portion read by the Ashkenazim beginning with the words "Vayivrach Yaakov.."
