Including a thematical overview and annotation on the structure of the Book of Jubilees. *** Rediscover the hidden chronicles of Genesis and Exodus. Long treasured by Ethiopian Christians and studied by scholars of ancient Judaism, The Book of Jubilees offers a fascinating retelling of biblical history from Creation to Moses-one that expands, reinterprets, and illuminates the familiar stories with striking new details. Written in the second century BCE, this remarkable text divides all of history into "jubilees" of forty-nine years, revealing a cosmos governed by divine order and angelic witnesses. Here, you'll encounter expanded accounts of the patriarchs, explanations for biblical laws, and vivid narratives of figures like Enoch and Abraham that answer questions the canonical Bible leaves unspoken. R.H. Charles's masterful 1902 translation introduced English readers to this pseudepigraphal treasure, and it remains the definitive version for understanding how ancient interpreters understood their sacred past. Essential reading for students of the Bible, the Dead Sea Scrolls, and early Jewish and Christian thought, The Book of Jubilees opens a window into a world where angels walked among humanity and every detail of history unfolded according to heavenly design. "A text that deepens our understanding of the biblical world and the rich interpretive traditions that shaped it." *** Echoes of the Eternal is a monumental series that brings together the defining texts of the world's spiritual, religious, and mythic heritage. From the sacred scriptures of Christianity, Islam, Buddhism, Hinduism, Judaism, and other global faiths, to the mystical writings of saints and sages, the myths of ancient civilizations, and the arcane literature of secret societies and occult traditions-this collection explores the full spectrum of humanity's search for the divine, the mysterious, and the transcendent. Each volume shapes spiritual consciousness and cultural identity across time. Wh
