Summary
Details

Unveiling a fascinating lens on Biblical history, The Book of Jubilees chronicles the world from creation to Moses, presenting a distinctive retelling of Genesis infused with unique details and perspectives. Written in the 2nd century B.C., this work introduces Adam and Eve's daughters, the enigmatic figure of Mastema, and visionary proposals for calendar reform with a 364-day solar year-challenging the traditional Jewish lunar calendar.

Rich in theological insight, it interweaves apocalyptic and messianic themes, offering a compelling supplement to canonical texts. Preserved in full only in Ethiopian yet rooted in Hebrew origins, this text provides vital connections to the Pentateuch and the Septuagint. Translated by the esteemed scholar R. H. Charles, The Book of Jubilees is essential for understanding ancient scriptural interpretations and the evolution of biblical tradition, shedding light on the enduring intersection of faith, history, and human thought.
