Miketz is an interesting portion as it sometimes falls during Chanukah and if so, as it did this year, 5783/2022, we read from Zechariah 2:14-4:7.  We read about Yehoshua, the high priest, but he is also given a crown and is possibly the one to whom the Angel of the L-rd refers to as "The Branch"!  This is a code word for the Messiah Himself!  What's so fascinating is that our Messiah is named "Yeshua" which is a derivative of "Yehoshua", which very well could mean that this is a prophecy, and possibly the only one I've ever found, that the Messiah's name would be "Yehoshua" or a "branch" off of this name that also means "salvation".  And that is the exact meaning of Yeshua...SALVATION.
FYI, on years that Miketz falls outside of Chanukah, the haftarah is from the story of 1 Kings 3:15-4:1, where King Shlomo has to make a judgement about who the proper mother is of an infant.
