The 2,100-year-old retelling of Genesis, found among the Dead Sea Scrolls and read in the churches of Ethiopia to this day. Newly typeset, in a case-wrap hardcover built to last.

Before the Dead Sea Scrolls were found, the Book of Jubilees survived in full only in Ethiopia, where it is still read as Scripture. Composed in Hebrew in the second century before Christ, it retells Genesis and the opening of Exodus as a revelation dictated to Moses on Sinai by the angel of the presence: it names the daughters of Adam and Eve, tells how Enoch became the first man to write, how Noah divided the earth among his sons, why Abram burned his father’s idols, and what Abraham said to Jacob before he died. And it binds the whole history to a calendar of jubilees, seven weeks of seven years.
