Greetings in the name of His & Her Imperial Majesties Qedamawi Haile Sellassie I & Itege Menen Asfaw,
Greetings, yet again to one and all, from “Lidj Yefdi” (pronounced Lij; Yêf-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) if those who actually open up their Bibles to read in a Jewish/Hebrew cycle of readings, & thoroughly discern, have come to seek insight) into the study of the Scriptures. So, with this Hebrew Shabbat(or Sabbath day) if those who actually open up their Bibles to read in a Jewish/Hebrew cycle of readings, & thoroughly discern, nonetheless studied the Torah portion of W(V)’zot HaBerachah – וְזֹאת הַבְּרָכָה, on the 26th – כו, & the 27th – כז, of the month of Tishreï – תִּשְׁרִי, in the year of 5779. (the Hebrew Calendar corresponds to a Lunar cycle of the Moon) From an Ethiopic-Christian perspective and calculation, where the current year is 2011/7511; these readings from the Scriptures would align to what is known, also as, YeBâräkäbát Bäräkät Y’hich Nát – የባረከባት በረከት ይህች ናት. This would calculate as the 19th – ፲፱, & the 20th – ፳, of the month of TíQímt – ጥቅምት. 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:
Deuteronomy 33:1- 34:12
Joshua 1: 1-18
Revelations 22: 1-5
On this Sabbath day, Moses blesses the children of Israel, before he passes on atop Mount Nebo.
Moses, recalled Jacob’s blessing to his twelve sons, who become the progenitors of the Twelve Tribes of Israel. Moses blessed each tribe, individually in the community of Israel.
[Deut. 33: 1-27]
Upon the passing of Moses, & there arose not another prophet like to Moses, among Israel, since then. But, even so, Joshua succeeded Moses, & led the children of Israel, over the river Jordan.
[Deut. 34: 1-12]
…Israel mourned the passing of Moses for thirty days….
for there would never be another that knew God face-to-face, to date
