The Book of Jubilees — Collector's Edition
Genesis rewritten. With the parts they left out.
You've read Genesis. You think you know the story.
But the Book of Jubilees tells it differently.
The same events — Creation, the Fall, Noah's flood, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob — retold in extraordinary detail, with the names Genesis omits, the dates Genesis skips, and the laws Genesis never explains. For the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, this is not an apocryphal footnote. It is scripture. One of the canonical texts that Western Christianity quietly set aside while Ethiopia kept it for 1,500 years.
What's Inside
This collector's edition contains the complete 50-chapter text of the Book of Jubilees — the R.H. Charles translation (1917) — with an introduction by E. Cross.
This book answers questions Genesis raises but never resolves:
- What were the names of Noah's wife and daughters-in-law? Jubilees names them.
- Where did evil spirits come from after the Flood? They are the disembodied souls of the Nephilim, permitted to remain and afflict mankind.
- Why did Abraham break with his father Terah? He dismantled his father's idol workshop and burned it down.
- How did God's intended calendar actually work? A solar year of 364 days — four equal seasons — so sacred festivals never drift.
The Dead Sea Scrolls Connection
When the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947, scholars found fragments of Jubilees more frequently than almost any text outside the Hebrew Bible itself — confirming it was not fringe literature. It was read, studied, and treated as authoritative.
