The Letter that Kills takes its cue from an 18th-century Ethiopian scholar who, when aspiring to correct the Ethiopian biblical commentary, exclaimed, “the text is defective!” This research addresses the seemingly gray area of Biblical hermeneutics found between the Scriptural text and its interpretation. Its scope pertains to the field of biblical studies, focusing on the details of both the text and interpretation of one of the most important ancient witnesses to the Bible, broadly the Gǝ‘ǝz version and specifically the Gǝ‘ǝz text of Genesis.
