5 Verses the Ethiopian Bible Has About Black People That the King James DELETED
from BIBLE STORIES REBORN · host Bible Stories Reborn
"The King James Bible is not the original. It's not even complete. And hidden inside the older Ethiopian canon are verses about Black people — that the KJV committee chose to erase."In this eye-opening episode, we uncover five specific passages from the Ethiopian Bible (written in Ge'ez, predating the KJV by over 800 years) that directly affirm Black identity and African biblical heritage. While the 1611 KJV was translated by English scholars who removed entire books — including 1 Enoch, Jubilees, and Meqabyan — the Ethiopian canon kept them intact. We explore the Song of Solomon 1:5 ("I am black but comely"), the Cushite wife of Moses (Numbers 12), the Ethiopian eunuch (Acts 8) who became the first Gentile convert, and prophecies in Zephaniah 3:10 about worshipers from beyond the rivers of Ethiopia. We also debunk the "curse of Ham" myth, which the KJV helped popularize despite being absent from authentic Ethiopian scripture. Perfect for anyone seeking biblical truth beyond colonial translations, Black history in scripture, and the real canon that never got deleted.
