Book Of Jubilees Or The Little Genesis

The Book of Jubilees, also known as The Little Genesis, is a religious text that retells the biblical story of creation and the early history of humanity. Written by an anonymous author in Hebrew during the Second Temple period, it was later translated into Greek and other languages. The Book of Jubilees adds new details and interpretations to the biblical account, including the division of time into Jubilees, or 49-year cycles, and the idea that angels taught humans the secrets of agriculture, medicine, and other sciences. This edition, translated by Robert Henry Charles, includes an introduction and notes that provide historical and theological context for the text. It is a valuable resource for scholars of ancient Judaism and early Christianity, as well as for anyone interested in the history of religious thought.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
