A STUDY EDITION FOR THE TABLE
The text before us.
The questions between us.
Read section 01 · Chapters 1–5 ↗Begin with what the passage actually says. Compare the translations. Identify the interpretation you are making, consider another reading, and only then discuss how it might shape conduct.
This edition uses the study-Bible format of text, notes, and cross-references. The commentary is original Assembly material; it does not reproduce Scofield’s notes or adopt his theological system.
Available now: the complete opening five chapters in Charles, corresponding Laurence chapters I–VI, and five chapter-specific commentary units. Later installments are not yet published.

This is our teaching sequence, not a claim that all nine units are separate ancient books. Dates for future installments have not been announced.
A living tradition, a careful approach.
1 Enoch has an important place in Ethiopian Orthodox scriptural tradition. Communities differ in their recognition and interpretation of the work. We identify it as 1 Enoch, distinct from the works called 2 Enoch and 3 Enoch, and invite readers to state the tradition from which they approach it.
Assembly commentary is an interpretive contribution, visibly separate from the translated text. Readers are welcome to question it and test its claims against the passage. No Ge’ez original or new translation is being claimed in this release.
