Terms & License

Free to read — read-only

This collection is published freely, for anyone to read online at no cost. It is not placed in the public domain, and it is not offered for copying, redistribution or commercial use.

You may

Read everything here freely; study it; and share links to these pages (tewahedo.com, oraita.com, haymanot.org) with anyone.

Please do not

Copy, download in bulk, scrape, mirror, re-host or republish the collection or any substantial part of it; incorporate it into another product or service; or use it for commercial purposes — without written permission. If you would like to use the material, please ask.

The texts and their sources

The rights in the underlying works belong to their own sources, and each text here names its source:

Scanned Ge'ez and Amharic editions — reproduced courtesy of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahido Church (ethiopianorthodox.org), presented for reading and study.
Hebrew, Greek and English — established public-domain editions (the Westminster Leningrad Codex, the SBL Greek New Testament and Swete's Septuagint, the King James Version, and the scholarly editions of R. H. Charles and E. A. W. Budge), each cited where it appears.
Beta Israel texts — J. Halévy's public-domain Ge'ez edition (Paris, 1902).

Where a text is public domain, that status is unchanged by its inclusion here. What is offered under these terms is this collection — its selection, arrangement, transcription, software and design.

Accuracy

The scanned page is always the authoritative source. Extracted and machine-read text is labelled as such, and where a symbol is uncertain it is flagged — never silently "corrected." Nothing here is machine-translated or reconstructed from memory.
