I might be one of the few but I am enjoying reading through Jubilees. It’s really interesting to me and gives a deeper understanding to things I’ve always wondered about. I think it’s awesome we learn names of the women and a little bit more information about some things that seem important but lack a lot of context in genesis. It’s my first time going through the book and my mind was blown last week with the readings.
I’m very into it! I think the extras are what make this bible study extra intriguing. Give me everything relevant and helpful and interesting!! I’m a little behind at the moment (jubilees 16) but will catch up.
I’ve been really enjoying Jubilees! I feel like the things I’ve always found confusing or too vague in Genesis have finally been made clearer to me. I it’s been filling in the blanks. I really like how 14 years is called 2 weeks of years too lol. What version of the Bible is Jubilee still part of? Or at what point was it removed?
It is part of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible - so not ever explicitly removed from the Bible, used in the second temple era, read by early church fathers and considered canon by some, but not included in the official canon by the Catholic/Orthodox church getting themselves together post-Jesus
I’m finding some really interesting things throughout Jubilees but overall feel it’s really long and drawn out, and I find it hard not to gloss over. I would love a cliff notes version personally haha But with that said I’m sticking with the daily readings for the discipline of it either way!
Thanks for sticking it out! I am debating just including Enoch 1-36 (The Book of Watchers) next year. And I can write an article or two on Jubilees to highlight the differences and extra info.
I’ve been listening to the Jubilees on YouTube, I’ll attach the link. It shows the text while it reads so I’m able to glance at the text here and there to follow along while I’m doing dishes, laundry or getting ready for the day.
All the relations recounting kinda goes in one ear and out the other or I’m like mentally trying to follow a chart of who is who! I feel like the meme of Charlie from It’s Always Sunny In Philadelphia trying to connect all the family ties. Haha

I like jubilees! It’s a bit of a tougher read with the older translation but I feel like it retelling genesis is a good way to get more detailing.
