| Summary: | The Book of Jubilees, dating from about 2300 years ago, contains material that is very similar to narratives found in the Hebrew Bible (Masoretic Text [MT]), specifically the books of Genesis and the first half of Exodus. The text in Jubilees both adds to and omits data found in the MT. In addition, a striking feature of Jubilees is its reliance on a jubilee (50) year cycle, made up of seven sets of "weeks," and its reliance on solely a solar calendar, as opposed to the Bible's lunisolar configuration. |
