Greek Book of Jubilees: an ancient Jewish work (also called Lesser Genesis), a 50‑chapter text revered in Ethiopian Orthodox and Beta Israel traditions.
Also known as the Book of Division, Jubilees retells Genesis–Exodus history with angelic revelation to Moses, a jubilee‑based chronology, laws and calendar material, and covenant themes. This edition highlights the Greek tradition and textual history, canonical status in Ethiopian Christianity, and its place in Second Temple literature. Useful for scholars, pastors, and readers exploring early Jewish writings and their reception in Christian communities. Painting by Edward Laning.
