THE BOOK OF JUBILEES
Introduction
The
Book of Jubilees dates itself to the time of Moses and was possibly written
by him. The purpose of the book seems to have been to add more detail to the
outline of history that is provided by Genesis, giving names and dates not
included in the Torah. This account also adds some details from the Book of
Enoch and mentions the Watchers.
The other purpose of the book is to rationalise the Hebrew calendar, with
Adam at year 1, and the details of ages of the patriarchs that are given in
Genesis are reflected in the dates given for their births and deaths in this
book.
Since this is dependent on translators of the language, use discernment of the Ruach Ha Kodesh (Holy Spirit) when reading any missing books from the bible.
To convert the dates; 2000 AD = 5760 AM.
