(These are unrelated to the Greek [[1 Maccabees|I]], [[2 Maccabees|II]], [[3 Maccabees|III Maccabees]] with which they are often confused.) The canonical Enoch differs from the editions of the [[Ge'ez]] manuscripts in the [[British Museum]] and elsewhere (A-Q) used by foreign scholars ([[Old Testament Pseudepigrapha|OTP]]), for example in the treatment of the [[Nephilim]] of Genesis 6.{{Citation needed|date= July 2010}} The current 81-book version, published in 1986, contains the same text as previously published in the ''[[Bible translations (Amharic)|Haile Selassie Version of the Bible]]'', only with some minor modifications to the New Testament translation. <ref> {{Cite journal | last= Cowley | first= R.W. | title= The Biblical Canon Of The Ethiopian Orthodox Church Today | journal= Ostkirchliche Studien | year= 1974 | volume= 23 | pages= 318–323 | url= http://www.islamic-awareness.org/Bible/Text/Canon/ethiopican.html | access-date= 21 January 2012 }} </ref> Summary: Please note that all contributions to Christianpedia may be edited, altered, or removed by other contributors.
