Greetings in the name of His & Her Imperial Majesties Qedamawi Haile Sellassie I & Itege Menen Asfaw,

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) 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 Shabbot (or Shabbat) we move into the opening of the Torah portion with Bareshiyt(h) – בְּרֵאשִׁית, on the 28th – כח, & the 29th – כט, of the month of Tishreï – תִּשְׁרִי‎‎, in the year of 5781. (the Hebrew Calendar corresponds to a Lunar cycle of the Moon)  From an Ethiopic-Christian perspective and calculation, where the current year is 2013/7513; these readings from the Scriptures would align to what is known, also as, BeMejemeriya – በመጀመሪያ.  This would calculate as the 6th – ፮ , & on the 7th – ፯, of the month of T’Qĭmt – 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:

Genesis 1: 1- 6:8

Isaiah 42:5 -43:11

John 1: 1-14

Colossians 1: 15-17

Hebrews 1: 1-3

We re-open a new cycle of Torah readings and study with the parsha/kfl(portion) of Bareshiyt(h) – בְּרֵאשִׁית.  The creation mythos, the story of the brothers: Cain & Abel, the Book of Generations, & Noah.

“And the name of the second river is Gihon, the same is it that compasseth the whole land of Ethiopia.“

[Gen. 2:13.]
