The Book of Jubilees

The "Book of Jubilees," an apocryphal text also known as the "Little Genesis," is a significant find among the Dead Sea Scrolls, with multiple copies discovered and a rich history that nearly saw it lost. Reinterpreting the biblical Genesis and Exodus, it organizes events into 49-year periods called Jubilees and provides additional details on topics like the fall of angels and the origins of demons. Historically popular among the Qumran community, the surviving Hebrew fragments offer valuable insights into ancient religious thought and biblical interpretation.
