Considered as the little Genesis, the book of Jubilees or of the distribution of the days of the law; it is an ancient religious text of Hebrew origin, written around the year 100 b.c., and it relates in a deeper and more detailed way the events and facts of Genesis until culminating with the departure of the Israelites from Egypt. It is worth mentioning that it is a canonical text for the Ethiopian Orthodox Church, although for most Protestant religions it is not.
A large part of the compendium of the Book of Jubilees was discovered at the end of 1947 in the Cumran caves.
