Hopefully someone knows this, since I see conflicting info online. What is the maftir for first shabbos of channuka (this coming shabbos, second day channuka, parshat Vayeshev). Is it (a) Bamidbar 7:18-20 or (b) Bamidbar 7:18-23 or (c) Bamidbar 7:18-29? Or something else. Thanks!

Well, my tikkun has a note saying that 2nd day laining is "bayom hasheini" until "melayah ketoret", so 18-20. Wikipedia says "Numbers 7:1–17" (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yom_Tov_Torah_readings#Chanukah). Chabad says from "bayom hasheni" until "netanel ben tzooar", 18-23 (chabad.org/parshah/torahreading.asp?tdate=12/12/…). Hebcal says "bayom hasheini" until "eliyav ben chailon", 18-29 (hebcal.com/holidays/chanukah-2020#reading-chanukah-day-2). Hence my confusion. Thanks.– DaveDec 6, 2020 at 19:05

The maftir for second day of chanukah which falls on shabbat is Bamidbar 7:18-23. See Shulchan Aruch Orach Chaim 684:1-2 with Mishnah Berurah 684:6.
