Hey everyone,
I will be reading the Book of Jubilees & The Book of Enoch alongside Genesis in January. These are seen as holy scriptures to the Oriental Orthodox Tehwado Etheopian/Eritrean Church.
I am using the 2 volume Hermeneia Commentary for each (massive books). I will share the text of the scriptures here on this forum if you would like to read along.
I have a deep interest in Biblical Pseudigrapha and will try to keep parallel Pseudigrapha posts in the forum around the Biblical readings we do through the year.
##Jubilees: A Commentary in Two Volumes
James C. VanderKamย (Author)

>Jubileesโso called because of its concern with marking forty-nine-year periods (or "jubilees") in Israel's historyโis an ancient rewriting of Genesis and the first part of Exodus from the point of view of an anonymous second-century BCE Jewish author. Its distinctive perspective-as well as its apparent popularity at Qumran-make it particularly important for any reconstruction of early Judaism. James C. VanderKam, the world's foremost authority on Jubilees, offers a new translation based on his own critical editions of all the available textual evidence, including the Hebrew fragments preserved at Qumran (which he first published inย Discoveries in the Judean Desert, vol. 13), as well as the first full running commentary on the book in the English language. Jubilees approaches the book as a rewriting of scripture but also as a literary work in its own right. The commentary explains the text and the teachings of the author with comprehensive coverage of the modern scholarship devoted to them. The introduction sets the book in its second-century BCE context, traces its sources in the Bible and in other early Jewish texts, and describes its influence on Jewish and Christian writers.
##1 Enoch 1: A Commentary on the Book of 1 Enoch, Chapters 1-36; 81-108

>1 Enoch is one of the most intriguing books in the Pseudepigrapha (Israelite works outside the Hebrew canon). It was originally written in Aramaic and is comprised of several smaller works, incorporating traditions from the three centuries before the Common Era. Employing the name of the ancient patriach Enoch, the Aramaic text was translated into Greek and then into Ethiopic. But as a whole, it is a classic example

Edit, lol: moses was talkin shit about this subreddit today(link) . Idc if people think my post is cringe. Itโs relevant to the public discussion of h3 on this sub. Now if you can do me a favor and step off my dick that would be greeat thxx โญโฉโฎส โ ๏น โ สโญโฉโฎ
Another Edit: getting called names by incels in the comments! They think i am too emotionally attached to the situation and am contributing to the overall problem (โ ^O^โ )(VโแดฅโV) I guess that could be true. Iโm just bored, locked inside from a looming hurricane, and the past week of h3 drama has been one of the rare sources of entertainment.
Moses, if you are reading this, I am sorry. I think you are a great guy and did the right thing. I especially think you are super โฆ. #SIKE!! BOSS MAN ETHAN!!
because he it twice and it sounded like she wanted Moses to be hila . Either way, both are disturbing. Nothing is sacred to her
This is a Bard's song that I wrote one night in Akshire..................................................................................................................................................................................
There's a Tavern in Akshire, east of Durant,
where the willows keep guard of the road.
This Tavern I speak
will make your knees weak.
The Tavern in Akshire Hold.
The Mead flows like rivers, the Wine red as seas.
The Whiskey distilled hard and bold.
"Another round!"
"Before we leave town!"
In the Tavern in Akshire Hold.
Now many are friendly, but few mercenaries.
The young are told stories of old.
There's rarely a fight,
And the food taste alright,
In the Tavern in Akshire Hold
So journey to Akshire after a quest,
Be sure to bring plenty of gold.
Drink and be merry,
with Elves, Orcs and Faries,
This Tavern in Akshire Hold.
He brewed it.
I'm looking for suggestions for naming taverns and locations etc to be spread throughout an entire continent. Jokes and bad puns encouraged! Some that I already have are below for an example of the level of humour, or lack thereof. Thanks in advance!
Luncheons and Flagons Tavern and Eatery
The Grassy Gnoll
The Cockswell Inn
Rouge Gallery (house of the ladies of negotiable affection)
Rogue Gallery (Thieves tavern)
the above two need to be in one town for maximum confusion.
The Halfling's Sausage
Something for Nothic (Magic/potion Shop)
Centaur Parcs (as in real life is a cursed holiday destination)
Edit: thanks for the responses, got some good ones there ๐คฃ

I'm a Thunder fan, and boy howdy am I gonna miss Moses. I love him so much, I wrote a poem about his rebounding last season:
Moses supposes that where the ball goes is
Exactly where Moses supposes he'll be.
Keeping opposing teams' guys on their toeses
It's coming up roses here in OKC.
Moses is not technically a rookie, but he might as well be - he spent his first year and change mostly in the G league, with a smattering of games with Portland. Then he got traded to us. He's 21 years old and looks much younger - he's got such a baby face! But he's got grown man moves. There were some games where he looked like fucking Wilt - he went from the G-league to starting for us rapidly. Granted, we sucked and were tanking, but that's through no fault of his.
Idk if y'all remember the game where he got 19 rebounds in the first half - that was against the Celtics! Y'all whupped us, but that's all part of the tank strategy. He wound up with 21 points, 23 rebounds, and like 5 blocks.
If I could describe Moses in one word, it'd be "ceiling," because - from what I saw, it's hard to fathom how high his ceiling is. I hope he fulfills the potential I see for him and becomes great for y'all! As of now, he can reliably average a double-double.
We loved him so much. I will miss our Holy Moses - the memes of him parting the Red Sea are now yours going forward.
