The first part of this book is an extensive verse-by-verse
commentary on the Book of Jubilees. Kugel's stated aim is "to
understand what the text is saying and why it is saying it," and in
particular to explore the numerous bits of biblical interpretation
found in Jubilees and their connection to other exegetical writings
of the Second Temple period. Subsequent chapters focus on the
possibility that Jubilees had more than one author, as well as on
the book s specific relationship to four other Second Temple texts:
the Genesis Apocryphon, the Aramaic Levi Document, 4Q225
Pseudo-Jubilees, and the writings of Philo of Alexandria.
