The Book of Jubilees
From "The Apocrypha and
Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament"
R.H. Charles
Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913
See
an article about the history of the book.
See the
Introduction to understand the view of an "already working kingdom prior to
Messiah." This kingdom would gradually come into existence, and
consistent with the New Wineskin scheme continues to evolve as we write.
The History of Heredotus,
Chapter Three reads:
About the time when Cambyses arrived at Memphis, Apis appeared to the Egyptians. Now Apis is the god whom the Greeks call
Epaphus. As soon as he
appeared, straightway all the Egyptians arrayed themselves in their gayest garments, and fell to feasting and jollity: which when Cambyses saw, making sure that these rejoicings were on account of his
own ill success, he called before him the officers who had
charge of Memphis, and demanded of them-
"Why, when he was in Memphis before, the Egyptians
had done nothing of this kind, but waited until now, when he had returned
with the loss of so many of his troops?" The officers made answer,
"That one of
their gods had appeared to them, a god who at long intervals of time
had been accustomed to show himself in Egypt-
and that always
on his appearance the whole of
Egypt feasted and kept jubilee."
THIS is the history of the division of the days of the
law and of the testimony, of the events of the years, of their (year) weeks,
of their Jubilees throughout all the years of the world, as the Lord spake to
Moses on Mount Sinai when he went up to receive the tables of the law and of
the commandment, according to the voice of God as he said unto him, 'Go up to
the top of the Mount.'
[The Book of Jubilees:
Chapter 1]
1 And it came to pass in the first year of the exodus of the children of Israel out of Egypt,
in the third month, on the sixteenth day of the month, [2450 Anno Mundi] that
God spake to Moses, saying:
'Come up to Me on the Mount, and I will give thee two tables of stone of the law and of the
commandment, which
2 I have written,
that thou mayst teach them.'
And Moses went up into the mount of
God, and the
3 glory of the Lord abode on Mount
Sinai, and a cloud overshadowed it six days.
And He called to Moses on the seventh day out of the midst of the cloud, and
the appearance of the glory of the
4 Lord was like
a flaming fire on the top of
the mount. And Moses was on the Mount forty days and forty nights,
and God taught him the earlier and the later
history of the division of all the days
5 of the law
and of the testimony.
The word day
(h3117) can mean a chronicle. A Book of Days
And the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, and all his might,
and how he made a pool, and a conduit, and brought water into the city, are
they not written in the book of the
chronicles of the kings of Judah? 2 Kings 20:20
Some days are accounts of instantaneous creation. Other
days speak of God planting, the plants grow and begin reproducing after their
kind. This would agree with Isaiah 48 where we see that God created all
things probably in ZERO time. Then, He brought them forth in their own good
time. The word "day" is the Hebrew:
Yowm (h3117) yome;
from an unused root mean. to be hot; a day (as the warm hours), whether literal (from sunrise to sunset, or
from one sunset to the next), or figurative
(a space of time defined by an associated term), chronicles, continually , (for) ever (-lasting, -more),
perpetually, presently, required,
season, process of time...
We know that creation out of nothing is instantaneous.
However, God then makes, forms, brings forth and then chronicles or heralds
what He has done in parable-like stories which can be easily learned and
repeated. These day journals were to contradict the absurd creation accounts
of the Babylonian triads and
modern evolution which discounts the Divine.
Day can also mean everlasting
or evermore. Literally, evermore
means for the necessary duration
of time and not always eternity.
And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in
thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore (h3117), and no man shall
save thee. Deuteronomy 28:29
The "groping at noonday" was symbolic of groping forever or for whatever time
it took:
And the statutes, and the ordinances, and the law, and
the commandment, which he wrote for you, ye shall observe to do for evermore (yowm); and ye shall not
fear other gods (elohim). 2 Kings 17:37
And He said:
'Incline thine heart to every word which I shall speak to
thee on this mount,
and write them in a book in order that their generations may
see how I have not forsaken them for all the evil which
they have wrought in transgressing
the covenant
6 which I establish between Me and thee for their generations this day on Mount Sinai.
And thus it will come to pass when all these things come
upon them, that they will recognise that I am more righteous than they in all
their judgments and in all their actions, and they will recognise that
7 I have been
truly with them. And do thou write for thyself all these words which I
declare unto, thee this day,
for I know their rebellion
and their stiff neck, before I bring them into the land of which I
sware to their fathers, to Abraham and to Isaac and to Jacob, saying: ' Unto
your seed
The Musical Idolatry at
Mount Sinai was an oft-repeated pattern of God offering grace and
evil men turning back to musical idolatry.
When God gave the Book of the Covenant, Exodus reads:
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended upon it in fire: and the
smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole mount quaked
greatly. Exodus 19:18
However, as a result
of the musical idolatry--rising up to play--God
gave them the Book of the Law
to protect them against the lawless. Later, they were given a king and the
temple rituals quarantined the people from the LIKE THE NATIONS rituals.
After punishment, God ordained the Levites to stand between the people and the
Tabernacle as the symbol of His presence. All but the Levites and Priests
were now strangers and the
clergy must bear the burden for the people. Therefore, in Deuteronomy, the
second law or that "in addition to the Covenant":
And mount Sinai was altogether on a smoke, because the Lord descended
upon it in fire: and the smoke thereof ascended as the smoke of a furnace, and the whole
mount quaked greatly. Deut.33:1
And he said, The Lord came from Sinai, and rose
up from Seir unto them; he shined
forth from mount Paran, and he came with ten thousands of saints:
from his right hand went a fiery law for them. Deut 33:2
Yea, he loved the people; all his saints are in thy hand:
and they sat down at thy feet; every one shall receive of thy words. Deut
33:3
Moses commanded
us a law, even the inheritance of the congregation of Jacob. Deut 33:4
This theme
of Covenant, sin, and the Law is repeated in The Book of Enoch
Quoted by Jude, vss. 14, 15.
And Enoch also, the seventh from Adam, prophesied of
these, saying, Behold, the Lord cometh with ten thousands of his saints, Jude 14
To execute
judgment upon all, and to convince all that are ungodly among them of
all their ungodly deeds which they have ungodly committed, and of all their
hard speeches which ungodly sinners have spoken against him. Jude 15
These documents all attribute musical worship of Yahweh
to a Satanic attack with mixed-sex choirs and intrumental music in the hands
of the women and youth.
8 will I give a
land flowing with milk and honey. And they will eat and be satisfied,
and they will turn
to strange gods, to (gods) which cannot deliver them from aught of
their tribulation:
and this witness
shall be heard for a witness
against them.
For they will forget all My commandments, (even) all that
I command them, and they will
walk after the
Gentiles, and after their uncleanness, and after their shame, and will
serve their gods, and these will
10 prove unto them an offence and a tribulation and an affliction and a snare.
And many will
perish and they will be taken
captive, and will fall into the hands of the enemy,
because they have forsaken My ordinances and My commandments, and the festivals of My covenant, and My sabbaths,
and My holy place which I have hallowed for Myself in their midst, and My tabernacle, and My sanctuary,
which I have hallowed for Myself in the midst of the land, that I should set
my name
11 upon it, and that it should dwell (there).
And they will make to themselves high places and groves
and graven images, and they will worship, each his own (graven image), so as to go astray,
and they
12 will sacrifice
their children to demons, and to all the works of the error of their
hearts.
While the women were lamenting
for Tammuz in the Jerusalem temple, the men were bowing to the sun
in the east. The "tree" or stone pillar representing various
"gods" was very important to show superiority.
This woodcut shows the Israelites worshiping a four-fold
image two of which are crowned with the sun. The non-functional columns were
"trees" or stumps like the original cross. In Judaism and lots of
modern christianity the Sun is worshiped rather than the Son. This is a symbolic grove.
In the Septuagint
"God" describes how this took place by showing how He
will musically bring judgment
upon Assyria. This describes the worship of Molech at
Topheth and defines how God will carry out His judgment upon all who are
unfaithful:
Must ye always rejoice, and go into
my holy places continually, as they that keep a ieast? and must ye go with a pipe, as those that rejoice into the
mountain of the Lord, to the God of Israel Isaiah 30:29
LXX
and the Lord shall make his glorious voice to be heard
and the wrath of his arm, to make a display with wrath and anger and devouring flame: he shall lighten
terribly, and his wrath shall be as
water and violent hail. Isaiah
14:30 LXX
For by the voice of the Lord the Assyrians shall be overcome, even by the stroke where with he
shall smite them. Isaiah 14:31 LXX
And it shall happen to him from every side, that they from
whom their hope of assistance was, in which he trusted, themselves shall war against him in turn with drums and with harp. Isaiah 14:32 LXX
And in every place where the grounded staff shall pass,
which the Lord shall lay upon him, it shall be with tabrets and harps:and
in battles of shaking will he fight with it. Isaiah 14:32KJV
This is an illustration how
they got an oracle from Molech by buring babies in his red-hot arms while the
loud music drowned out the evil sounds for the mothers. The screams of the
children was "music" in the ears of Molech representing Satan.
And I will send witnesses unto them, that I may witness
against them, but they will not hear,
and will slay the witnesses also,
and they will persecute
those who seek the law,
and they will abrogate
and change
13 everything
so as to work evil before My eyes. And I will hide My face from them, and I
will deliver them into the hand of the Gentiles for captivity, and for a prey, and for devouring,
and I will remove them from the midst of the land, and I will scatter them amongst the Gentiles.
God said that Abraham was justified by faith:
Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes,
and my laws. Genesis 26:5
At Mount Sinai, God restated
the covenant made with Abraham which was a patriarchal covenant without
clergy and without sacrifice. When Israel fell back into
Osiris (Apis the bull) worship, He gave them the Book of the Law. After they
"fired" God as their King so that they could worship like the
nations, He allowed them to walk in their own ways. Their religion,
therefore, was not a spiritual religion of Grace but a religion quite identical
to those of the surrounding nations. In time, this religion would lead to
their captivity and almost destruction. The book of Jubilees describes this:
Jubilee
picks up this eternal theme:
14 And they will forget all My law and all My
commandments and all My
judgments,
and will go
15 astray as to new moons, and sabbaths, and festivals, and jubilees, and ordinances.
And after this they will turn to Me from amongst the Gentiles with all their heart and
with all their soul and with all their strength, and I will gather them from
amongst all the Gentiles, and they will seek me, so
16 that I shall be found of them, when they seek me with
all their heart and with all their soul. And I will disclose to them abounding
peace with righteousness, and I will remove them the plant of
uprightness, with all My heart and with all My soul, and they shall be for a
blessing and not for
17 a curse, and they shall be the head and not the tail.
And I will build My sanctuary in their midst,
and I will dwell with
them, and I will be their God
and they shall be My people in truth and
18, 19 righteousness.
And I will not forsake them nor fail them; for I am the
Lord their God.'
And Moses fell on his face and prayed and said, 'O Lord
my God, do not forsake Thy
people and Thy inheritance, so that they should wander in the error of their
hearts, and do not deliver them into the hands of their enemies, the
Gentiles, lest they should rule over them and cause them to sin against
20 Thee. Let thy mercy, O Lord, be lifted up upon Thy
people, and create in them an upright
spirit, and let not the spirit
of Beliar rule over them to accuse
them before Thee, and to ensnare them
21 from all the paths of righteousness, so that they may perish
from before Thy face. But they are Thy people and Thy inheritance, which thou
hast delivered with thy great power from the hands of the Egyptians: create
in them a clean heart and a holy spirit, and let them not be ensnared in
22 their sins from henceforth until eternity.'
And the Lord said unto Moses: 'I know their contrariness
and their thoughts and their stiffneckedness, and they will not be obedient till they confess
23 their own
sin and the sin of their fathers. And after this they will turn to Me in all uprightness and
with all (their) heart and with all (their) soul, and
I will circumcise the foreskin of their heart and the foreskin of the heart
of their seed,
and I will create
in them a holy spirit, [See notes on A holy
spirit]
and I will cleanse
them so that they shall not turn away from Me from that day unto
eternity.
24 And their souls will cleave to Me and to all My commandments, and they will
fulfil My
25 commandments, and I will be their Father and they
shall be My children. And they all shall be called children of the living
God, and every angel and every spirit shall know, yea, they
shall know that these are My children,
and that I am their Father in uprightness and righteousness,
and that
26 I love them. And do thou write down for thyself all
these words which I declare unto thee on this mountain, the first and
the last, which shall come to pass in
all the divisions of the days in the law and in the testimony and in
the weeks and the jubilees unto eternity, until I descend and dwell
27 with them throughout eternity.'
And He said to the angel of the presence: Write
for Moses from
28 the beginning
of creation till My sanctuary has been built among them for all eternity. And the Lord will
appear to the eyes of all, and all shall know that I am the God of Israel and the Father
of all the children of Jacob, and King on Mount Zion for all
eternity. And Zion and Jerusalem shall
29 be holy.' And the angel of the presence who went
before the camp of Israel
took the tables
of the divisions of the years -from the time of the creation- of the law and of the testimony
of the weeks of the jubilees,
according to the individual years, according to all the
number of the jubilees
[according, to the individual years],
from the day of the [new] creation when the heavens and
the earth shall be renewed and
all their creation according to the powers of the heaven, and according to
all the creation of the earth, until the sanctuary of the Lord shall be made
in Jerusalem on Mount Zion, and all the luminaries be renewed for healing and for peace and for blessing
for all the elect of Israel, and that thus it may be from that day and unto
all the days of the earth.
[The Book of Jubilees:
Chapter 2]
1 And the angel of the presence spake to Moses according to the word of the Lord,
saying:
Write the complete
history of the creation, how in six days the Lord God finished all His
works and all that He created, and kept Sabbath on the seventh day and hallowed it for all ages, and
2 appointed
it as a sign for all His works.
Notice that the first day was devoted to the "spirits" of all things
On the first
day He created the heavens
which are above and the earth and the waters and all the spirits which serve before him in internal silence. Jesus prescribed
the "spirit" as the place where He looks for worshipers and not the
body or His works. Whatever exists, there is a divine law which is invisible
but makes things what they are.
the angels of the presence,
and the angels of sanctification,
and the
angels [of the spirit of fire and
the angels] of the spirit of the winds,
and the angels of the spirit of the clouds,
and of darkness,
and of snow and of hail and of hoar frost,
and the angels of the voices and of the thunder and of the lightning,
and the angels
of the spirits of cold and of heat,
and of winter and of spring and of autumn and of summer
and of all the spirits
of his creatures which are in
the heavens and on the earth,
(He created) the abysses and the darkness, eventide (and
night),
and the light, dawn and day, which He hath
3 prepared in the knowledge of his heart. And thereupon
we saw His works, and praised Him, and lauded before Him on account of all His works;
for seven great
works did He create on the first day.
4 And on the second
day He created the firmament in the midst of the waters, and the
waters were divided on that day -half of them went up above and half of them
went down below the firmament (that was) in the midst over the face of the
whole earth. And this was the only work (God) created
5 on the second day. And on the third day He commanded the waters to pass from off the face of
6 the whole earth
into one place, and the dry land to appear. And the waters did so as
He commanded them, and they retired from off the face of the earth into one
place outside of this firmament,
7 and the dry land appeared. And on that day He created
for them all the seas according to their separate gathering-places, and all
the rivers, and the gatherings of the waters in the mountains and on all the
earth, and all the lakes, and all the dew of the earth, and the seed which is
sown, and all sprouting things, and fruit-bearing
trees, and trees of the wood, and the garden of Eden, in Eden
8 and all plants after their kind. These four great works
God created on the third day.
And on the fourth day He
created the sun and the moon and the stars, and set them in the firmament of the heaven, to give light upon all
the earth, and to rule over the day and the night, and divide the
9 light from the darkness. And God appointed the sun to
be a great sign on the earth for days and
10 for sabbaths
and for months and for feasts and for years and for sabbaths of years and for jubilees and for all seasons of the
years. And it divideth the light from the darkness [and] for prosperity, that
all things may prosper which shoot and grow on the earth. These three kinds He
made on the fourth day. And on the fifth
day He created great sea monsters in the depths of the waters, for
these were the first things of flesh that were created by his hands, the fish
and everything that moves in the
12 waters, and everything that flies, the birds and all
their kind. And the sun rose above them to prosper (them), and above
everything that was on the earth, everything that shoots out of the earth,
and all
13 fruit-bearing trees, and all flesh. These three kinds
He created on the fifth day. And on the sixth day
14 He created
all the animals of the earth, and all cattle, and everything that moves on
the earth. And after all this He created man, a man and a woman created He
them, and gave him dominion over all that is upon the earth, and in the seas,
and over everything that flies, and over beasts and over cattle, and over
everything that moves on the earth, and over the whole earth, and over all
this He gave
15 him dominion. And these four kinds He created on the sixth day. And there were altogether
16 two and twenty kinds. And He finished all his work on the sixth day -all that is in the
heavens and on the earth, and in the seas and in the abysses, and in the
light and in the darkness, and in
17 everything. And
He gave us a great sign, the Sabbath day, that we should work six
days,
The Sabbath was not created for a day of "external
worship" which is usually the most stressful part of the week. Rather,
the Sabbath was created for all of the animal and human life to rest. In
order to keep this day holy God took "Saturday rituals" out of the
hands of mankind by defining what could not be done on that day.
but
18 keep Sabbath on the seventh day from all work. And all the angels of the presence, and all
the angels of sanctification, these two
great classes -He hath bidden us to keep the Sabbath with Him
19 in heaven and on earth. And He said unto us:
'Behold, I will separate unto Myself a people from among
all the peoples, and these shall keep
the Sabbath day, and I will sanctify them unto Myself as My people,
and will bless them; as I have sanctified the Sabbath day and do sanctify
(it) unto
20 Myself, even so will I bless them, and they shall be
My people and I will be their God. And I have chosen the seed of Jacob from amongst all that
I have seen, and have written him down as My first-born son, and have
sanctified him unto Myself for ever and ever; and I will teach them the
21 Sabbath day, that they may keep Sabbath thereon from
all work.' And thus He created therein a sign in accordance with which
they should keep Sabbath with us on the seventh day,
to eat and to drink, and to bless Him
who has created all things as He has blessed and sanctified unto Himself
22 a peculiar people above all peoples, and that they
should keep Sabbath together with us.
And He caused His commands to ascend as a sweet savour acceptable before Him
all the days . . .
23 There (were) two and twenty heads of mankind from Adam
to Jacob, and two and twenty kinds of work were made until the seventh day;
this is blessed and holy; and the former also is blessed and
24 holy; and this one serves with that one for
sanctification and blessing. And to this (Jacob and his seed) it was granted
that they should always be the blessed and holy ones of the first testimony
25 and law, even as He had sanctified and blessed the
Sabbath day on the seventh day. He created heaven and earth and everything
that He created in six days, and God made the seventh day holy, for all His
works; therefore He commanded on its behalf that,
whoever does any work thereon
26 shall die,
and that he who defiles it shall surely die. Wherefore do thou command the children of Israel to observe
this day that they may keep it holy and not do thereon any work, and not to
27 defile it, as it is holier than all other days. And
whoever profanes it shall surely die, and whoever does thereon any work shall surely die eternally,
that the children of Israel may observe this day throughout their
generations, and not be rooted out of the land; for it is a holy day and a
blessed
28 day. And every one who observes it and keeps Sabbath thereon from all his work, will be holy and
29 blessed throughout all days like unto us. Declare and
say to the children of Israel the law of this day both that they should keep
Sabbath thereon, and that they should not forsake it in the error of their hearts; (and)
that it is not
lawful to do any work thereon which
is unseemly,
to do thereon their own pleasure, and that they should not prepare thereon anything
to be eaten or drunk,
and (that it is not lawful) to draw water, or bring in
or take out thereon through their gates any burden,
If thou turn away thy foot from the sabbath, from doing
thy pleasure on my holy day; and call the sabbath a delight, the holy of the
Lord, honourable; and shalt honour him, not doing thine own ways, nor finding
thine own pleasure, nor speaking
thine own words: Isa 58:13
30 which they had not prepared for themselves on the sixth day in their dwellings.
And they shall not bring in nor take out
from house to house on that day;
for that day is more holy and blessed than any jubilee day of the jubilees; on this we kept
Sabbath in the heavens before it was made
31 known to any flesh to keep Sabbath thereon on the
earth. And the Creator of all things blessed it,
but he did not
sanctify all peoples and nations to keep Sabbath thereon, but
Israel alone: them
32 alone
he permitted to eat and drink and to keep
Sabbath thereon on the earth. And the Creator of all things blessed
this day which He had created for blessing and holiness and glory above all
33 days. This law and testimony was given to the children of Israel as a law for ever unto their generations.

[The Book of Jubilees:
Chapter 3]
1 And on the six days of the second week we brought,
according to the word of God, unto Adam all the beasts, and all the cattle,
and all the birds, and everything that moves on the earth, and everything
that moves in the water, according to their kinds, and according to their
types: the beasts on the first day; the cattle on the second day; the birds
on the third day; and all that which moves on the earth on the fourth day;
and that which moves in the water on the fifth day.
2 And Adam named them all by their respective names, and
as he called them, so was their name.
3 And on these five days Adam saw all these, male and
female, according to every kind that was on
4 the earth, but he was alone and found no helpmeet for
him. And the Lord said unto us:
'It is not
5 good that the man should be alone: let us make a
helpmeet for him.' And the Lord our God caused a deep sleep to fall upon him,
and he slept, and He took for the woman one rib from amongst
6 his ribs, and this rib was the origin of the woman from
amongst his ribs, and He built up the flesh in its stead, and built the
woman. And He awaked Adam out of his sleep and on awaking he rose on the
sixth day, and He brought her to him, and he knew her, and said unto her:
'This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called
7 [my] wife; because she was taken from her husband.'
Therefore shall man and wife be one and therefore shall a man leave his
father and his mother, and cleave unto his wife, and they shall be
8 one flesh. In the first week was Adam created, and the
rib -his wife: in the second week He showed her unto him: and for this reason
the commandment was given to keep in their defilement,
9 for a male seven days, and for a female twice seven
days. And after Adam had completed forty days in the land where he had been
created, we brought him into the garden of Eden to till and keep it, but his
wife they brought in on the eightieth day, and after this she entered into
the garden
10 of Eden. And for this
reason the commandment is written on the heavenly tablets in regard to her
that gives birth: 'if she bears a male, she shall remain in her uncleanness
seven days according to the first week of days, and thirty and three days
shall she remain in the blood of her purifying, and she shall not touch any
hallowed thing, nor enter into the sanctuary, until she accomplishes these
11 days which (are enjoined) in the case of a male child.
But in the case of a female child she shall remain in her uncleanness two
weeks of days, according to the first two weeks, and sixty-six days
12 in the blood of her purification, and they will be in
all eighty days.' And when she had completed these eighty days we brought her
into the garden of Eden, for it is holier than all the earth besides and
13 every tree that is planted in it is holy. Therefore,
there was ordained regarding her who bears a male or a female child the
statute of those days that she should touch no hallowed thing, nor
14 enter into the sanctuary until these days for the male
or female child are accomplished. This is the law and testimony which was
written down for Israel, in order that
they should observe (it) all the
15 days. And in the first week of the first jubilee, [1-7 A.M.] Adam and his wife were in the garden of
Eden for seven years tilling and
keeping it, and we gave him work and we instructed him to do everything
Genesis 3:1 NOW the serpent was more subtil than any
beast of the field which the Lord God had made. And he said unto the woman,
Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
Genesis 3:2 And the woman said unto the serpent, We may
eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
Genesis 3:3 But of the fruit of the tree which is in the
midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye
touch it, lest ye die.
Genesis 3:4 And the serpent said unto the woman, Ye shall
not surely die:
Genesis 3:5 For God doth know that in the day ye eat
thereof, then your eyes shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing
good and evil.
Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good
for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to
make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto
her husband with her; and he did eat.
Genesis 3:7 And the eyes of them both were opened, and
they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made
themselves aprons.
Genesis 3:8 And they heard the voice of the Lord God
walking in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid
themselves from the presence of the Lord God amongst the trees of the garden.
Genesis 3:9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and said
unto him, Where art thou?
Genesis 3:10 And he said, I heard thy voice in the
garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself.
Genesis 3:11 And he said,
Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I
commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
Genesis 3:12 And the man said, The woman whom thou gavest
to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat.
Genesis 3:13 And the Lord God said unto the woman, What
is this that thou hast done? And the woman said, The serpent beguiled me, and
I did eat.
Genesis 3:14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent,
Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above
every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou
eat all the days of thy life:
Genesis 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the
woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou
shalt bruise his heel.
Genesis 3:16 Unto the woman he said, I will greatly
multiply thy sorrow and thy conception; in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
children; and thy desire shall be to thy husband, and he shall rule over
thee.
Genesis 3:17 And unto Adam he said, Because thou hast
hearkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree, of which I
commanded thee, saying, Thou shalt not eat of it: cursed is the ground for
thy sake; in sorrow shalt thou eat of it all the days of thy life;
Genesis 3:18 Thorns also
and thistles shall it bring forth to thee; and thou shalt eat the herb of the
field;
Genesis 3:19 In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat
bread, till thou return unto the ground; for out of it wast thou taken: for
dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return.
Genesis 3:20 And Adam called
his wifes name Eve; because she was the mother of all living.
Genesis 3:21 Unto Adam also and to his wife did the Lord
God make coats of skins, and clothed them.
Genesis 3:22 And the Lord God said, Behold, the man is
become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his
hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
Genesis 3:23 Therefore the Lord God sent him forth from
the garden of Eden, to till the ground from whence he was taken.
Genesis 3:24 So he drove out the man; and he placed at
the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims, and a flaming sword which turned
every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.
16 that is suitable for tillage. And he tilled (the
garden), and was naked and
knew it not, and was not ashamed, and he protected the garden from the birds
and beasts and cattle, and gathered its fruit, and eat, and put aside the
residue for himself and for his wife [and put aside that which was
17 being kept]. And after the completion of the seven
years, which he had completed there, seven years exactly, [8 A.M.] and in the
second month, on the seventeenth day (of the month), the serpent came and approached the
woman, and the serpent said to the woman, 'Hath God commanded you,
18 saying, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?' And she said to
it, 'Of all the fruit of the trees of the garden God hath said unto us, Eat;
but of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden God hath
said unto us, Ye shall not eat thereof, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye
die.'
And the serpent
said unto the woman, 'Ye shall not
surely die: for God doth know that on the day ye shall eat thereof, your eyes
will be opened, and ye will be as
gods, and ye will know good and
20 evil. And the woman saw the tree that it was agreeable and pleasant to the eye, and that its
fruit
21 was good for food, and she took thereof and eat. And
when she had first covered her shame with figleaves, she gave thereof to Adam
and he eat, and his eyes were opened, and he saw that he was
22 naked. And he took figleaves and sewed (them)
together, and made an apron for himself, and
23, 24 covered his shame. And God cursed the serpent, and was wroth with it for ever . . . And He
was wroth with the woman, because she harkened to the voice of the serpent,
and did eat; and He said unto her: 'I will greatly multiply thy sorrow and
thy pains: in sorrow thou shalt bring forth
25 children, and thy return shall be unto thy husband,
and he will rule over thee.' And to Adam also he said, ' Because thou hast
harkened unto the voice of thy wife, and hast eaten of the tree of which I commanded thee that thou shouldst
not eat thereof, cursed be the ground for thy sake: thorns and thistles shall
it bring forth to thee, and thou shalt eat thy bread in the sweat of thy
face, till thou returnest to the earth from whence thou wast taken; for earth
thou art, and unto earth shalt
26 thou return.' And He made for them coats of skin, and
clothed them, and sent them forth from
27 the Garden of Eden. And on that day on which Adam went
forth from the Garden, he offered as a sweet savour an offering,
frankincense, galbanum, and stacte, and spices in the morning with the
28 rising of the sun from the day when he covered his
shame. And on that day was closed the mouth of all beasts, and of cattle, and
of birds, and of whatever walks, and of whatever moves, so that they could no
longer speak: for they had all spoken one with another with one lip and with
one tongue.
29 And He sent out of the Garden of Eden all flesh that
was in the Garden of Eden, and all
flesh was scattered according
to its kinds, and according to its types unto the places which had been
created
30 for them. And to Adam alone did He give (the wherewithal)
to cover his shame, of all the beasts and
31 cattle. On this account, it is prescribed on the heavenly tablets as touching all
those who know the judgment of the law, that they should cover their shame,
and should not uncover themselves as the
32 Gentiles
uncover themselves. And on the new moon of the fourth month, Adam and
his wife went
33 forth from the Garden of Eden, and they dwelt in the land of Elda in the land of
their creation. And
34 Adam called the name of his wife Eve. And they had no
son till the first jubilee, [8 A.M.] and after this he
35 knew her. Now he tilled the land as he had been
instructed in the Garden of Eden.
[The Book of Jubilees:
Chapter 4]
1 And in the third week in the second jubilee she gave
birth to Cain, and in the
fourth she gave birth to Abel, and in the fifth she gave birth to her
daughter Awan. And in the
first (year) of the third jubilee,
Cain slew Abel because (God) accepted the sacrifice of Abel, and did not
accept
3 the offering of Cain. And he slew him in the field: and
his blood cried from the ground to heaven,
4 complaining because he had slain him. And the Lord
reproved Cain because of Abel, because he had slain him, and he made him a
fugitive on the earth because of the blood of his brother, and he
5 cursed him upon
the earth. And on this account it is written on the heavenly tables,
'Cursed is, he who smites his neighbour treacherously, and let all who have
seen and heard say, So be it; and
6 the man who has seen and not declared (it), let him be
accursed as the other.' And for this reason we announce when we come before
the Lord our God all the sin which is committed in heaven and
7 on earth, and in light and in darkness, and everywhere.
And Adam and his wife mourned for Abel four weeks of years, [99-127 A.M] and
in the fourth year of the fifth week [130 A.M.] they became joyful, and Adam
knew his wife again, and she bare him a son, and he called his name Seth; for
he said 'GOD has
8 raised up a second seed unto us on the earth instead of
Abel; for Cain slew him.' And in the sixth
9 week
[134-40 A.M.] he begat his daughter Azura.
And Cain took Awan his sister to be his wife and she bare him Enoch at the close of the fourth jubilee. [190-196 A.M.] And
in the first year of the first week of the fifth jubilee, [197 A.M.] houses
were built on the earth, and Cain built a city, and called its name after the
name of
10, 11 his son Enoch. And Adam knew Eve his wife and she
bare yet nine sons. And in the fifth week of the fifth jubilee [225-31 A.M.] Seth took Azura his sister to be his
wife, and in the fourth (year of the sixth
12,13 week) [235 A.M.] she bare him Enos. He began to call on the name of the Lord on
the earth. And in the seventh jubilee in the third week [309-15 A.M.]
Enos took Noam his sister to be his wife, and she bare him a son
14 in the third year of the fifth week, and he called his
name Kenan. And at the close
of the eighth jubilee [325, 386-3992 A.M.] Kenan took Mualeleth his sister to
be his wife, and she bare him a son in the ninth jubilee,
15 in the first week in the third year of this week, [395
A.M] and he called his name Mahalalel.
And in the second week of the tenth jubilee [449-55 A.M.] Mahalalel took unto
him to wife Dinah, the daughter of Barakiel the daughter of his father's
brother, and she bare him a son in the third week in the sixth year, [461
A.M.] and he called his name Jared,
for in his days the angels of the Lord descended on the earth, those who are named
the Watchers, that they should
instruct the children of men,
and that they should do

Watchers from Enoch
16 judgment and uprightness on the earth. And in the
eleventh jubilee [512-18 A.M.]
Jared took to himself a wife,
and her name was Baraka, the daughter of Rasujal, a daughter of his father's
brother, in the fourth week of this jubilee, [522 A.M.] and she bare him a
son in the fifth week, in the fourth year of the jubilee, and
17 he called his name Enoch. And he was the first among men that are born on earth who
learnt writing and knowledge and wisdom and who wrote down the signs of heaven according to the order of their
months in a book, that men might know the seasons of the years according to
the order of
18 their separate months. And he was the first to write a
testimony and he testified to the sons of men among the generations of the
earth, and recounted the weeks of the jubilees, and made known to them the
days of the years, and set in order the months and recounted the Sabbaths of
the years
19 as we made (them), known to him. And what was and what
will be he saw in a vision of his sleep, as it will happen to the children of
men throughout their generations until the day of judgment; he saw and
understood everything, and wrote his testimony, and placed the testimony on
earth for all
20 the children of men and for their generations. And in
the twelfth jubilee, [582-88] in the seventh week thereof, he took to himself
a wife, and her name was Edna, the daughter of Danel, the daughter of his
father's brother, and in the sixth year in this week [587 A.M.] she bare him
a son and he called his name
21 Methuselah. And he was moreover with the angels of God
these six jubilees of years, and they showed him everything which is on earth
and in the heavens, the rule of the
sun, and he wrote down
22 everything. And he testified to the Watchers, who had sinned with the daughters of men; for these had
begun to unite themselves, so as to be defiled, with the daughters of men, and Enoch
23 testified against
(them) all. And he was taken from amongst the children of men, and we
conducted him into the Garden of Eden in majesty and honour, and behold there
he writes down the con-
24 demnation
and judgment of the world, and
all the wickedness of the children of men. And on account of it (God) brought
the waters of the flood upon all the
land of Eden; for there he was set as a sign and that he should
testify against all the children of men, that he should recount all the
25 deeds of the generations until the day of
condemnation. And he burnt the incense of the sanctuary,
26 (even) sweet spices acceptable before the Lord on the Mount. For the Lord has four places on the earth, the Garden of Eden, and the Mount of the East, and this mountain
on which thou art this day, Mount
Sinai, and Mount Zion
(which) will be sanctified in the new creation for a sanctification of the
earth; through it will the earth be sanctified from all (its) guilt and its
uncleanness through-
27 out the generations of the world. And in the
fourteenth jubilee [652 A.M.] Methuselah
took unto himself a wife, Edna the daughter of Azrial, the daughter of his father's brother, in the third week,
in the
Methuselah Genesis 5:21-27
was the 8th generation
28 first year of this week, [701-7 A.M.] and he begat a
son and called his name Lamech. And in the fifteenth jubilee in the third
week Lamech took to himself a wife, and her name was Betenos the daughter of Baraki'il, the daughter of his
father's brother, and in this week she bare him a son and he called his name Noah, saying, 'This one will comfort
me for my trouble and all my work, and for the ground
29 which the Lord hath cursed.' And at the close of the nineteenth
jubilee, in the seventh week in the sixth year [930 A.M.] thereof, Adam died,
and all his sons buried him in the land of his creation, and he
30 was the first to be buried in the earth. And he lacked
seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day in
the testimony of the heavens and therefore was it written concerning the tree
of knowledge: 'On the day that ye eat thereof ye shall die.' For this reason
he
31 did not complete the years of this day; for he died
during it. At the close of this jubilee Cain was killed after him in the same
year; for his house fell upon him and he died in the midst of his house, and
he was killed by its stones; for with a stone he had killed Abel, and by a
stone was he killed in
32 righteous judgment. For this reason it was ordained on
the heavenly tablets: With the instrument with which a man kills his
neighbour with the same shall he be killed; after the manner that
33 he wounded him, in like manner shall they deal with
him.' And in the twenty-fifth [1205 A.M.] jubilee Noah took to himself a
wife, and her name was Emzara, the daughter of Rake'el, the daughter of his
father's brother, in the first year in the fifth week [1207 A.M.]: and in the
third year thereof she bare him Shem, in the fifth year thereof [1209 A.M.]
she bare him Ham, and in the first year in the sixth week [1212 A.M.] she
bare him Japheth.

1 And it came to pass when the children of men began to multiply on
the face of the earth and daughters were born unto them,
that the angels
of God saw them on a certain year of this
jubilee, that they were beautiful to look upon; and they took
themselves wives of all whom they
2 chose, and they bare unto them sons and they were giants.
And lawlessness
increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way, alike men and cattle
and beasts and birds and everything that walks on the earth -all of them
corrupted their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other, and lawlessness increased on the earth and every
imagination of the thoughts of all men
Second
Adam and Eve 20:1 AFTER Cain
had gone down to the land of dark
soil, and his children had multiplied therein, there was one of them,
whose name was Genun
(Jubal), son of Lamech
the blind who slew Cain.
Second Adam and Eve 20: 2 But as to this Genun, Satan came into him in his childhood;
and he made sundry trumpets and horns,
and string instruments, cymbals
and psalteries, and lyres and harps, and flutes;
and he played on them at all times and at every
hour.
[The horns
in Hebrew were the yobels or Jubals from which Jubilee gets its meaning.
Genun plays the part of Jubal. The trumpet and the idea of "triumphing
over" people with panic noise go together.]

Music of Nimrod and the Horn-Harp connection.
3 (was) thus evil continually. And God looked upon the
earth, and behold it was corrupt, and all flesh had corrupted its orders, and
all that were upon the earth
had wrought all manner of evil
4 before His eyes. And He said that He would destroy man
and all flesh upon the face of the earth
5,6 which He had created. But Noah found grace before the
eyes of the Lord.
And against the
angels whom He had sent upon the earth, He was exceedingly wroth, and
He gave commandment to root them out
of all their dominion, and He bade us to bind them in the depths of
the earth, and
7 behold they are bound in the midst of them, and are
(kept) separate. And against their sons went forth a command from before His
face that they should be smitten with the sword, and be removed
8 from under heaven. And He said 'My spirit shall not
always abide on man; for they also are flesh
9 and their days shall be one hundred and twenty years'.
And He sent His sword into their midst that each should slay his neighbour,
and they began to slay each other till they all fell by the sword
10 and were destroyed from the earth. And their fathers
were witnesses (of their destruction),
and after this they were bound in the depths of the earth for ever,
until the day of the great condemnation, when judgment is
executed on all those who have corrupted
their ways and their works before
11 the Lord. And He destroyed all from their places, and
there was not left one of them whom
12 He judged not according to all their wickedness. And
he made for all his works a new and righteous nature, so that they should not
sin in their whole nature for ever, but should be all
13 righteous each in his kind alway. And the judgment of
all is ordained and written on the heavenly tablets in righteousness -even
(the judgment of) all who depart from the path which is ordained for them to
walk in; and if they walk not therein, judgment is written down for every
creature and
14 for every kind. And there is nothing in heaven or on
earth, or in light or in darkness, or in Sheol or in the depth, or in the
place of darkness (which is not judged); and all their judgments are
15 ordained and written and engraved. In regard to all He
will judge,the great according to his
16 greatness, and the small according to his smallness,
and each according to his way. And He is not one who will regard the person
(of any), nor is He one who will receive gifts, if He says that He will
execute judgment on each: if one gave everything
that is on the earth, He will not
regard the
17 gifts
or the person (of any), nor accept anything at his hands, for He is a
righteous judge. [And of the children of Israel it has been
written and ordained: If they turn to him in righteousness He will forgive
all their transgressions and pardon all their sins. It is written and
ordained that
19 He will show mercy to all who turn from all their
guilt once each year.] And as for all those who corrupted their ways and
their thoughts before the flood, no man's person was accepted save that of
Noah alone;
for his person
was accepted in behalf of his sons,
whom (God) saved from the waters of the flood on his account; for his heart was righteous
in all his ways, according as it was com-
20 manded regarding him, and he had not departed from
aught that was ordained for him. And the Lord said that he would destroy
everything which was upon the earth, both men and cattle, and
21 beasts, and fowls of the air, and that which moveth on
the earth. And He commanded Noah to
22 make him an ark, that he might save himself from the
waters of the flood. And Noah made the ark in all respects as He commanded
him, in the twenty-seventh jubilee of years, in the fifth week
23 in the fifth year (on the new moon of the first
month). [1307 A.M.] And he entered in the sixth (year) thereof, [1308 A.M.]
in the second month, on the new moon of the second month, till the sixteenth;
and he entered, and all that we brought to him, into the ark, and the Lord
closed it from without on the seventeenth evening.
24 And the Lord opened seven flood-gates of heaven,
And the mouths of the fountains of the great deep, seven mouths in number.
25 And the flood-gates began to pour down water from the
heaven forty days and forty nights,
And the fountains of the deep also sent up waters, until the whole world was
full of water.
26 And the waters increased upon the earth: Fifteen
cubits did the waters rise above all the high mountains, And the ark was lift
up above the earth,
And it moved upon the face of the waters.
27 And the water prevailed on the face of the earth five
months -one hundred and fifty days.
28, 29 And the ark went and rested on the top of Lubar,
one of the mountains of Ararat. And (on the new moon) in the fourth month the
fountains of the great deep were closed and the flood-gates of heaven were
restrained; and on the new moon of the seventh month all the mouths of the
abysses
30 of the earth were opened, and the water began to
descend into the deep below. And on the new moon of the tenth month the tops
of the mountains were seen, and on the new moon of the first 31 month the
earth became visible. And the waters disappeared from above the earth in the
fifth week in the seventh year [1309 A.M.] thereof, and on the seventeenth
day in the second month the earth was dry.
32 And on the twenty-seventh thereof he opened the ark,
and sent forth from it beasts, and cattle, and birds, and every moving thing.
[The Book of Jubilees:
Chapter 6]
1 And on the new moon of the third month he went forth
from the ark, and built an altar on
2 that mountain. And he made atonement for the earth, and
took a kid and made atonement by its blood for all the guilt of the earth;
for everything that had been on it had been destroyed, save
3 those that were in the ark with Noah. And he placed the
fat thereof on the altar, and he took an ox, and a goat, and a sheep and
kids, and salt, and a turtle-dove, and the young of a dove, and placed a
burnt sacrifice on the altar, and poured thereon an offering mingled with
oil, and sprinkled wine and strewed frankincense over everything, and caused
a goodly savour to arise, acceptable before
4 the Lord. And the Lord smelt the goodly savour, and He
made a covenant with him that there should not be any more a flood to destroy
the earth; that all the days of the earth seed-time and harvest should never
cease; cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night should not
5 change their order, nor cease for ever. 'And you,
increase ye and multiply upon the earth, and become many upon it, and be a
blessing upon it. The fear of you and the dread of you I will
6 inspire in everything that is on earth and in the sea.
And behold I have given unto you all beasts, and all winged things, and
everything that moves on the earth, and the fish in the waters, and all
7 things for food; as the green herbs, I have given you
all things to eat. But flesh, with the life thereof, with the blood, ye shall
not eat; for the life of all flesh is in the blood, lest your blood of your
lives be required. At the hand of every man, at the hand of every (beast)
will I require the
8 blood of man. Whoso sheddeth man's blood by man shall
his blood be shed, for in the image of
9,10 God made He man. And you, increase ye, and multiply
on the earth.' And Noah and his sons swore that they would not eat any blood
that was in any flesh, and he made a covenant before the
11 Lord God for ever throughout all the generations of
the earth in this month. On this account He spake to thee that thou shouldst
make a covenant with the children of Israel in this month
upon the mountain with an oath, and that thou shouldst sprinkle blood upon
them because of all the words
12 of the covenant, which the Lord made with them for
ever. And this testimony is written concerning you that you should observe it
continually, so that you should not eat on any day any blood of beasts or
birds or cattle during all the days of the earth, and the man who eats the
blood of beast or of cattle or of birds during all the days of the earth, he
and his seed shall be rooted out of the land.
13 And do thou command the children of Israel to eat no
blood, so that their names and their seed
14 may be before the Lord our God continually. And for
this law there is no limit of days, for it is for ever. They shall observe it
throughout their generations, so that they may continue supplicating on your
behalf with blood before the altar; every day and at the time of morning and
evening they shall seek forgiveness on your behalf perpetually before the
Lord that they may keep
15 it and not be rooted out. And He gave to Noah and his
sons a sign that there should not again
16 be a flood on the earth. He set His bow in the cloud
for a sign of the eternal covenant that there
17 should not again be a flood on the earth to destroy it
all the days of the earth. For this reason it is ordained and written on the
heavenly tablets, that they should celebrate the feast of weeks in this
18 month once a year, to renew the covenant every year.
And this whole festival was celebrated in heaven from the day of creation
till the days of Noah -twenty-six jubilees and five weeks of years [1309-1659
A.M.]: and Noah and his sons observed it for seven jubilees and one week of
years, till the day of Noah's death, and from the day of Noah's death his
sons did away with (it) until the days of Abraham, and
19 they eat blood. But Abraham observed it, and Isaac and
Jacob and his children observed it up to thy days, and in thy days the
children of Israel forgot it
until ye celebrated it anew on this mountain.
20 And do thou command the children of Israel to observe
this festival in all their generations for a
21 commandment unto them: one day in the year in this
month they shall celebrate the festival. For it is the feast of weeks and the
feast of first fruits: this feast is twofold and of a double nature:
22 according to what is written and engraven concerning
it, celebrate it. For I have written in the book of the first law, in that
which I have written for thee, that thou shouldst celebrate it in its season,
one day in the year, and I explained to thee its sacrifices that the children
of Israel should remember and should celebrate it throughout their
generations in this month, one day in every year.
23 And on the new moon of the first month, and on the new
moon of the fourth month, and on the new moon of the seventh month, and on
the new moon of the tenth month are the days of remembrance, and the days of
the seasons in the four divisions of the year. These are written and ordained
24 as a testimony for ever. And Noah ordained them for
himself as feasts for the generations for ever,
25 so that they have become thereby a memorial unto him.
And on the new moon of the first month he was bidden to make for himself an
ark, and on that (day) the earth became dry and he opened
26 (the ark) and saw the earth. And on the new moon of
the fourth month the mouths of the depths of the abyss beneath were closed.
And on the new moon of the seventh month all the mouths of27 the abysses of
the earth were opened, and the waters began to descend into them. And on the
new
28 moon of the tenth month the tops of the mountains were
seen, and Noah was glad. And on this account he ordained them for himself as
feasts for a memorial for ever, and thus are they ordained.
29 And they placed them on the heavenly tablets, each had
thirteen weeks; from one to another (passed) their memorial, from the first
to the second, and from the second to the third, and from the
30 third to the fourth. And all the days of the
commandment will be two and fifty weeks of days, and (these will make) the
entire year complete. Thus it is engraven and ordained on the heavenly
31 tablets. And there is no neglecting (this commandment)
for a single year or from year to year.
32 And command thou the children of Israel that they
observe the years according to this reckoning- three hundred and sixty-four
days, and (these) will constitute a complete year, and they will not disturb
its time from its days and from its feasts; for everything will fall out in
them according to
33 their testimony, and they will not leave out any day
nor disturb any feasts. But if they do neglect and do not observe them
according to His commandment, then they will disturb all their seasons and
the years will be dislodged from this (order), [and they will disturb the
seasons and the years
34 will be dislodged] and they will neglect their
ordinances. And all the children of Israel will forget
and will not find the path of the years, and will forget the new moons, and
seasons, and sabbaths
35 and they will go wrong as to all the order of the
years. For I know and from henceforth will I declare it unto thee, and it is
not of my own devising; for the book (lies) w |
