Summary The book of Jubilees (2nd century BCE) retraces the book of Genesis and parts of Exodus and is one of the earliest sustained commentaries on the narratives presented in those texts. The translation is drawn from the author's monumental two-volume Hermeneia commentary and takes into account all of the textual data now available. The translation is accompanied by carefully selected notes that illuminate the text and is ideal for classroom use
Notes "The translation of Jubilees that appears in the present book is the one found in my Jubilees: a Commentary in Two Volumes (Hermeneia; Minneapolis: Fortress, 2018)"
Translation is mainly based on the Ethiopic version of the original manuscripts
Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (page 5-6)
