The Book of Jubilees (Lesser Genesis) — an ancient Jewish text of 50 chapters, canonical in the Ethiopian Orthodox Church and Beta Israel (also called the Book of Division).
A retelling of Genesis and Exodus across jubilees, this work offers a chronological framework, angelic revelations, and expanded laws and traditions prized by Ethiopian Christianity and Jewish sects. Ideal for scholars and faith readers, this edition highlights historical context, theological themes, and its reception as canonical by Beta Israel and the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. Includes notes on manuscript history, translations, and the cultural legacy (painting by Edward Laning). Perfect for biblical studies, canonical studies, and Christian readers exploring early Jewish-Christian traditions.
