AB - The rewritten Bible of the Second Temple period, the content of which to a great extent overlaps with the biblical texts, read the Bible with close attention, noting obscurities, inconsistencies and narrative lacunae, in order to make the biblical texts more vivid, more edifying, and more understandable to the contemporary reader.
It is notable that the rewritten Bible paid great attention to Abraham, creating differing portraits of Abraham by interweaving the biblical account with the polemical interests of their own. In this paper, we will draw on Jubilees' account of Abraham. From a literary perspective, Jubilees is most extensive and accurate in rewriting the contents of the Genesis account of Abraham among the so-called rewritten Bible.
The features of Abraham in the rewritten Bible support well the generally accepted historical context of the rewritten Bible at the turn of the era as Judeans were subject to foreign powers who were at least interested in blending them into the surrounding culture. In this context, the authors of Jubilees made a fresh reading on Abraham in an attempt not to compromise with the gentile cultures and its erosive effects on the traditional Jewish religious practice and separation by interweaving his polemic interests and the biblical interpretation.
