Greetings in the name of His & Her Imperial Majesties Qedamawi Haile Sellassie I & Itege Menen Asfaw,
I welcome you all to a new regenartion of cycle Torah readings! This is another one of the many interpretations of the Scriptures from the light of Ras Tafari by, I, Lidj Yefdi (pronounced Lij, Yef-dee).
I assure you that if you are patient with me, come with a willing mind and heart(ready to learn), you will receive more than what you might have asked for, in seeking the perspective of a Ras Tafarian’s I-sight (eyesight) into the study of the Scriptures.
So,with this Hebrew Shabbot(or Sabbath day) if those who actually open up their Bibles to read in a Jewish/Hebrew cycle of readings, & thoroughly discern, have come to the opening of the Torah portions with נֹחַ. On the Jewish or Hebraic Calendar in this year 5775, this Sabbath day would probably fall on the 6th-ו,& the 7th-ז, of the month of Marcḥeshw(v)an-מַרְחֶשְׁוָן]for this week, in this mode of study; for those out in the diaspora or outside of Jerusalem/Israel. (The Hebrew Calendar corresponds to a Lunar cycle of the Moon) &, from an Ethiopic-Christian perspective, in what may be known as the year 2007/2027/7507, on the Ethiopic calendar. This calculation, with its readings from the Scriptures, would align to the 21st-፳፩, & the 22nd-፳፪,
on the (ወርኀ)month of T’Qĭmt-ጥቅምት.
In the Scriptures, this portion of study would also be known as Tӓlӓytӓ Wӓṭăh-ተለይተህ ወጣ. The Ethiopic calendar is solar (with its correspondence to the Sun) aligns to this Sabbath (or Senbet-ሰንበት) in the Ethiopian language of Amharic, which is currently one of the languages of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church (the other language being Ge’ez-(ግእዝ).
Readings:
Genesis 12:1 – 17:27
Isaiah 40:27 – 41:16
Romans 4: 1-25
Leaving off with descendants of Noah, from the last portion of the Scripture studies, LeKH’ LeKH’a-לֶךְ-לְךָ is the set of readings for this Sabbath.
Abram of Ur, in Chaldea, a descendant of Noah, was spoken to by God.
[Gen. 12:1]
Abram, was told by God to leave his country and people, in Chaldea. So Abram, left with Sarai(his wife), and Lot(his nephew) traveled south. God sought to bless Abram, exceedingly.
[Gen. 12: 2-10]
Famine in those lands took Abram to Egypt, where passed off his wife, as his sister; for he feared he would be killed because of her beauty, in the sight of the Egyptians. But, because of her beauty Pharaoh sought to entreat her, for he sought to make her a wife of his. But, his mind was plagued because of Sarai(Abram’s wife). So much so, that he confronted Abram about the situation and ended up sending on their way peacefully, with quite hefty caravan.
[Gen. 12: 10-20]
While in Egypt, Abram and his family acquired very much, in riches. But, if got to the point where there was strife among them, (within their camps). Lot(Abram’s nephew) and Abram, consolidated to negotiate not to struggle with each other for there was so much land, that they need not quarrel over anything.
[Gen. 13: 1-12]
But, the men of Sodom, near where Abram had made a place for him cattle, herds, and possessions were a wicked and distasteful people. Wickedness abounded so much so, to the point that Abram separated himself from among them, at Mamre, in Hebron.
[Gen. 13: 13-18]
War, in those days, between many kings of many nations, brought Sodom & Gomorrah to an expected destruction. Fortunately, Abram was able to bring Lot out, just before meeting Melchizedek; the king of Salem.
[Gen. 14: 1-24]
Abram, was then blessed by God, in that by his wife Sarai, who was barren, would give birth to a son. (even in their old age) Abram was given vision by God, that his seed would be innumerable, for he would be the father of many nations. God instructed Abram, to make offerings, he did it & guarded it.
[Gen. 15: 1-11]

Then Abram had visions of the future generations of his to come.
[Gen. 15: 12-21]
Sarai, feeling as though she had been restrained by God from bearing any children, gave Abram, her maid, Hagar(Agar), who was an Egyptian, in attempt beget children of Abram. Hagar, conceived of Abram, but saw Sarai, differently afterwards. (by contempt) Sarai, then feeling as though she brought about strife in Abram‘s house, she brought the plight to Abram, and wanted Abram to put her away. God, complied because he sought to make the child of Hagar & Abram, a mighty nations of his own. (his name would be Ishmael)
[Gen. 16: 1-16]
Between Abram & God, was a covenant made: for he would the father of many nations, and be fruitful exceedingly, kings would be from him, the land between the two rivers would be of his possession, & the land of Canaan would be for an everlasting possession, his seed shall circumcise their flesh(males); also he & his wife would have new names. Instead of Abram, his name would be Abraham & instead of Sarai, her name would be Sarah.
Abraham would also have a son, which he would name Isaac, his son Ishmael would grow to be a mighty nation.
[Gen. 17: 1-21]
And, these were the facets that made up, what is known as the Abraham Covenant
