Certainly, it is no small undertaking, as with approximately 1,200 pages the Bible is of comparable length to the popular epic ‘Lord of the Rings’ series by J.R.R. Tolkien.

Accordingly, translations of Biblical books of Tigrigna and Amharic (major languages spoken in Eritrea and Ethiopia) and English were studied.
