Book of Jubilees (Lesser Genesis): an ancient Jewish text, canonical in the Ethiopian Orthodox tradition and Beta Israel, retelling biblical history.
This 50‑chapter work—also known as the Book of Division—reframes Genesis and Exodus through angelic revelation, legal instruction, and a jubilee-style chronology. Classified among Jewish pseudepigrapha, it sheds light on Second Temple‑era views of law, calendar, covenant, and biblical interpretation. This edition, published by Filipino Tracts and Literature Society Inc., is aimed at readers interested in canonical variation, biblical chronology, and early Jewish–Christian intersections.
