The project was a collaborative effort, undertaken by scholars of the EOTC and the Bible Society of Ethiopia. His Beatitude and Holiness Abun Matthias I, Patriarch of Ethiopia, Archbishop of Aksum and ge of the See of St Tkl Haymanot, expressed his deep gratitude to all involved and explained how important their work is for the Churchs liturgical and educational ministries. Reverend Liq Hruyan Ylma Getahun, the General Secretary of the Bible Society, explained how the publication of the Gz translation of the Bible was given priority among the 21 Ethiopian languages for which the Society is currently working to facilitate publications.
