PREFACE

The New Jubilees Version of Sacred Scripture in Verse with Verse Commentary includes the entire Bible, Deuterocanonical books, Ethiopic Enoch and Jubilees, several apocryphal gospels and the Qur’an set to verse. The nearly nine thousand commentaries are set in sonnet-like form to distinguish them from the Scriptural text.

The first volume consists in the presentation of the books of Moses. The second volume includes Enoch and Jubilees, also books in the Mosaic tradition, and Joshua and Judges. The third volume introduces Scriptures that acknowledge the figure of David, beginning with the book of Ruth. This volume continues that tradition, the presentation of Scriptures that acknowledge both Moses and David, beginning with the book of Ezra.

The reader is referred to the preface of the first volume for a comprehensive introduction to the source texts and the ways by which they have been treated.
