Ethiopian Orthodox Bible

The Ethiopian Orthodox Bible reflects the biblical tradition of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church. Its broader canon is commonly described as containing 81 books and preserves ancient writings not included in most Western Protestant Bibles, including 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and the Ethiopian books of Meqabyan. Much of this biblical tradition has been preserved in Ge’ez, the classical liturgical language of Ethiopia.

The Zohar

The Zohar, meaning “Splendor” or “Radiance,” is one of the foundational works of Kabbalah, the Jewish mystical tradition. It presents mystical and symbolic interpretations of the Torah through teachings and narratives centered on Rabbi Shimon bar Yochai and his companions. Jewish tradition associates its teachings with the second-century rabbi, while the surviving literary work became known in medieval Spain.
