Chichewa Nyanja translation of the Book of Jubilees (Lesser Genesis) — an ancient Jewish text retelling Genesis and sacred history in 50 chapters.
Known as the Book of Division among Beta Israel and canonical in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, this edition presents Jubilees’ retelling of creation, patriarchal narratives, laws, angelic revelations, and chronology. Ideal for comparative scripture study, historical theology, and Chichewa-speaking readers exploring Judaic tradition and early biblical interpretations. Includes notes on authorship, structure, and cultural reception; accompanied by Edward Laning’s painting image for historical context.
