This is also the leining for Chanukah. The only day Chanukah cannot begin on is Tuesday, which means that the 5th day of Chanukah can never fall on Shabbos, and as a result the korban for Shelumiel ben Tsurishadai is never read on Shabbos. (Because of this, some say that Shelumiel is the origin of the word schlemiel!!) However Shelumiel does get his opportunity to be read on Shabbos - during Nisan, since the 5th day can fall on Shabbos!</span></span></span></p>
