AlbakiReads Editorial

A retelling of Genesis and Exodus with additional traditions

Known also as *The Little Genesis*, *The Book of Jubilees* revisits narratives from Genesis and Exodus while adding material about subjects including the Fall, Cain and Abel, angels, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, and Jacob’s visions. Framed in the text as a revelation delivered to Moses on Mount Sinai, it is described in the source as a Jewish apocalyptic work. Its history of reception is also part of its context: the source notes that the writings were known to early Christian writers and entered the canon of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. This Dover edition includes an introduction by historian G. H. Box.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers exploring texts connected to Genesis and Exodus beyond the biblical canon.
  • Readers interested in Jewish apocalyptic writings and the reception of ancient religious texts.

Book overview

The Book of Jubilees -- also known as The Little Genesis -- purports to be a divine revelation delivered by an angel from God to Moses during the prophet's sojourn on Mount Sinai. Chiefly based upon the historical narratives in Genesis and Exodus, the book probably originated as a Jewish apocalyptical work. It also contains a fascinating variety of material not found in the Bible, including details concerning the Fall, Cain and Abel, angels, the Flood, the Tower of Babel, Jacob's visions, the Messianic Kingdom, and many other subjects.
Well known to early Christian writers of East and West alike, these writings entered into no canons except those of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church. They remain a popular source for the construction of "alternative histories," particularly those relating to the early Christian church. This inexpensive new edition features an Introduction by historian G. H. Box.
