Torah Portion readings and the associated Haftarah readings generally follow the Stone Edition Chumash and/or the Complete Jewish Bible. Verse numbering generally follows the Hebrew tradition, and where modern Christian traditions differ those verse numbers are shown in parentheses (). Haftarah readings generally follow the Ashkenazi tradition. Where the Sephardic tradition differs, the Haftarah portions are designated as (A) and (S). Suggested New Testament readings are taken from various sources including the Walk! series of Devotion Commentaries by Dr. Jeffrey Enoch Feinberg. Suggested Psalm readings are from the Messianic Siddur for Shabbat by Daniel Perek. Suggested Bible reading plan is from The Barking Fox.

Why does it have brackets around the readings for Hosea?
Shalom,
The verse numbering shown is from the Hebrew Tanakh. Many Messianic Bibles, including the Complete Jewish Study Bible, follow this numbering system. However, most Christian translations occasionally number the verses differently. In this case, Hosea 2:1-22 in the Hebrew Bible has been renumbered as Hosea 1:10-11 and Hosea 2:1-20 in most Christian translations. When the verse numbering differs, I show the Christian numbering in parenthesis().
Thanks for asking!
