SUGGESTION: Russell Redden: Jubilees and Genesis: The Parallel Edition
Please provide this resource with appropriate ties to the parallel passages section of the passage guide, use in parallel readers etc.
Amazon blurb: [quote]The book of Jubilees, once considered an inspired book of the Biblical Canon, tells the "other story" of the book of Genesis. This is the first book that presents the similar content of both of these books side by side. Discover the ancient traditions and interpretations of ancient Jews recorded in this valuable book, found in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Compare these alternate or expanded traditions to the same stories found in the first book of the Bible—cherished by Jews and Christians throughout the ages.

Well, I spent an hour seeing if one of my four Jubilees translations could be connected to Genesis. Somehow. The basic problem, is Jubilees doesn't just relate to Genesis, but to a whole raft of 2nd Temple writings.
The suggested book looks good, though judging from the single comment (missing parallels) I suppose Charlesworth (crossrefs) alongside would work.
