The Book of Jubilees — an ancient Jewish text (Lesser Genesis) known as the Book of Division and regarded as canonical by the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Beta Israel.
A 50-chapter retelling of Genesis and Exodus, Jubilees offers a unique chronology, angelic interventions, and expanded Mosaic law traditions. Often called Lesser Genesis, this work illuminates Second Temple Jewish thought and Ethiopian Christian canon formation. Useful for biblical studies, comparative religion, and gospel publishing contexts, this edition is presented by Filipino Tracts and Literature Society Inc., which publishes with a focus on the saving message of Jesus Christ.
