Description: This book delves into the fascinating world of the Book of Jubilees, a significant text from the last century BCE that offers a unique window into the legalistic side of Pharisaism. The author meticulously examines the book's origins, language, and various translations, including Greek, Syriac, Ethiopic, and Latin versions. Through a comprehensive analysis of ancient manuscripts and historical sources, the author sheds light on the text's complex relationship with different versions of the Pentateuch, including the Masoretic, Samaritan, and Septuagint. This exploration reveals valuable insights into the evolution of the Hebrew text over centuries and challenges the long-held assumption of the Masoretic text's supremacy. By tracing the textual affinities and divergences, the book delves into the dynamic world of textual transmission and interpretation during a crucial period in Jewish history. Ultimately, the book's meticulous scholarship and insightful analysis provide a deeper understanding of the Book of Jubilees, its historical context, and its enduring significance in the study of ancient Judaism and the development of biblical texts.
