 Eye Opening - And Good May 31, 2006
15 out of 15 found this review helpful
I always thought there were many things left unexplained in Genesis. The Book of Jubilees fills in the gaps.
The titles, Jubilees, Little Genesis, and Apocalypes of Moses, refer to the same book. These are titles given to the same work in various times and places.
The book covers in great detail all of the questions I had after reading Genesis.
The book also gives the reason that the Watchers first came to earth - before they became the fallen angels.
15 In the second week of the tenth jubilee Mahalalel took to him to wife Dinah, the daughter of Barakiel the daughter of his father's brother, and she gave birth to a son in the third week in the sixth year, 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 judgment and uprightness on the earth.
This is a very interesting book.

What a wonderful translation!
I have read several others but this one is the best.
It is clear and direct, while keeping keeping grace and flow.
The name Jubilees is taken from the way time is told within the text. A jubilee is 50 years. The book covers Genesis and part of Exodus in an expanded and enlightening way. Many questions left unanswered in the Bible are revealed in Jubilees.
I have copied a few lines below:
1 When the children of men began to multiply on the face of the earth and daughters were born to them, and the angels of God saw them on a certain year of this jubilee, that they were beautiful, and they took themselves wives of all whom they chose, and they gave birth to their sons and they were giants.
2 Because of them lawlessness increased on the earth and all flesh corrupted its way. Men and cattle and beasts and birds and everything that walked on the earth were all corrupted in their ways and their orders, and they began to devour each other. Lawlessness increased on the earth and the imagination and thoughts of all men were continually, totally evil.
------
21 Because of these three things came the flood on the earth, namely, the fornication that the Watchers committed against the law of their ordinances when they went whoring after the daughters of men, and took themselves wives of all they chose, and they made the beginning of uncleanness.
22 And they begat sons, the Naphilim (Naphidim), and they were all dissimilar, and they devoured one another, and the Giants killed the Naphil, and the Naphil killed the Eljo, and the Eljo killed mankind, and man killed one another.
23 Every one committed himself to crime and injustice and to shed much blood, and the earth was filled with sin.
24 After this they sinned against the beasts and birds, and all that moved and walked on the earth, and much blood was shed on the earth, and men continually desired only what was useless and evil.
25 And the Lord destroyed everything from the face of the earth. Because of the wickedness of their deeds, and because of the blood they had shed over all the earth, He destroyed everything. "
