THE BOOK OF JUBILEE

The Book of Jubilee, published by R. H. Charles, also found among the Dead Sea Scrolls, reflects the story of the Watchers. Students of Judaism have concluded that this book probably was written in Hebrew by a Pharisee between 153 BC and 105 BC, and to some extent is a re-editing of an original traditional myth. This book was also known as The Little Genesis, Apocalypse of Moses, The Testament of Moses, The Book of Adam’s Daughters, and The Life of Adam. Jubilees are time periods. These are my notes during the reading of this book:

§ Chapter 2 repeats the seven days of creation, only more specifically.

§ Fish and sea monsters were created first and in succession, birds, plants and fruit-bearing trees, all animals of earth and cattle, and finally man/woman who were given dominion over the flora and fauna.

§ On the six days of the second week (a period in evolution of Earth and its life forms) we brought, according to the word of god, all animals, fish, and birds for Adam to name.

§ Then god made a woman for Adam from a component of Adam, and Adam was brought to Eden in 40 days and Eve in 80 days.

§ There are strict laws regarding Eve’s confinement period, whether bearing a male or female child for the rules vary according to sex. No reason is given as to why.

§ Adam and Eve tilled the garden for seven years, were naked, and knew it not. And Adam protected the garden from animals, gathered its fruit, and put aside its residue for his wife and himself. (Was the produce of the garden for god and his angels?)

§ After seven years, the serpent (an extra-terrestrial or an Atlantean?) came and said to woman, "Hath god commanded ye shall not eat of every fruit of the garden?" She said, "Eat, but of the fruit which is in the midst of the garden, ye shall not eat of it nor touch it lest you die." The serpent said, "Ye shall surely not die for god knows the day ye eat of it, your eyes will be opened, and ye will be as gods, and ye will know good and evil." Woman saw its fruit was good for food and ate. Then she covered her shame with fig leaves and gave to Adam. He ate, his eyes were opened, and he saw that he was naked. He took fig leaves, sewed them together, and covered his shame. (Why is he now ashamed when he wasn’t before? Could this shame have developed over time as he became more human and civilized?)

§ And god cursed the serpent.

§ God was angry with woman for listening to serpent and did eat. He said, "I will multiply your sorrow and pains, and thou shalt bring forth children and return to your husband, and he shall rule over you." (Was woman unable to have children until then? Had both Adam and Eve been sterile because they were clones up until that time?)

§ To Adam god said, "Cursed be the ground for your sake. Thorns and thistles, and thou shalt eat thy bread in the sweat of thy face, and thou shall return to earth for earth thou art. (Did Adam not die before now?)

§ And god made for them coats of skin. (Were they going into a colder climate? Or perhaps it was not skin made from animals, but some type of clothing such as god and his angels wore, especially if they were Atlanteans?)

§ And god sent them forth from the garden of Eden. And Adam offered sweet incense at dawn each day and god cut off speech from animals and Adam. (What kind of speech -- a form of ESP because Adam was no longer animal-like? Did the eating of fruit of good and evil actually might mean that enough time had passed that Adam/Eve had evolved from a very primitive stage to a more evolved human?)

§ Adam and Eve went forth from Eden and dwelt in Elda in the land of their creation. (Were the sites of their creation and Eden two separate places? Were they created in the spacecraft by artificial insemination or perhaps were simply test tube babies?)

§ They had no son until after the first jubilee (50 years, or this may be indicative of a time span such as a generation). After this he knew her. And he tilled the land as he had been instructed in Eden.

§ In the second jubilee, she bore Cain.

§ In the fourth jubilee she bore Abel.

§ In the fifth jubilee she bore a daughter Awan.

§ Then the writing says that in the third jubilee Cain slew Abel, and yet before it said that Abel wasn’t born until the fourth jubilee. (Is this an error or were there two Abels and the first one did not survive?)

§ Cain slew Abel because god accepted Abel’s offering and not Cain’s. (Why would god accept Abel’s offering and not his brother’s? Obviously there is something in the meaning missing.)

§ He slew him in the field and god knew.

§ The lord reproved Cain and made him a fugitive because of the slaying, and cursed him. It is written on the heavenly tablets (?) and on earth and everywhere.

§ Adam and Eve mourned for four years and then they mated and bore Seth.

§ Then they begat a daughter Azura.

§ Cain took his sister Awan as wife and she bore Enosh at the close of fourth jubilee.

§ In the fifth jubilee Cain built a city of houses and called it after his son Enosh.

§ Adam had nine more sons.

§ Seth took his sister Azura as wife and they had Enos.

§ Enos took Naomi, his sister, to wife and they had a son Kenan.

§ In the eighth jubilee Kenan took his sister Mualieth as wife.

§ In the ninth jubilee they had Mahalalel.

§ In the tenth jubilee Mahalalel took as wife Dinah, daughter of Barak, daughter of Kenan’s brother and they had a son, Jared.

Note how brothers are marrying sisters, which is adverse to good genetics. However there had to have been a reason for this. It is possible that angels or males from the spacecraft sired some of these progeny and they wanted to keep these special genetics continuing in this particular lineage with whom they communicated directly. Was it from this practice that human rulers were considered gods such as the Pharaohs who later adopted the practice of brothers and sisters marrying?

§ In the eleventh jubilee Jared took to wife Baraka, daughter of Raseyal, a daughter of Mahalel’s brother. They had a son, Enoch. He was first born on earth who learned writing, knowledge, wisdom, astronomy, wrote a testimony to the sons of earth, and recounted the jubilees. He prophesied from visions in his sleep. He saw and understood everything.

§ In the twelfth jubilee he took a wife Edna, daughter of Daniel, Jared’s brother. They had Methusalah.

§ Enoch was with the angels of god. For six jubilees they showed him everything on earth and in the heavens, the rule of the sun (astronomy), and he wrote it all down.

§ Enoch testified against the Watchers who had mated with the daughters of men.

§ Enoch was taken from amongst men and we conducted him to the garden of Eden, and he wrote down the judgment of the world and wickedness of the children of men. (Was Eden a space station on Earth populated by extra-terrestrials or Atlanteans? Why were men considered wicked when angels had led them astray? Is this equitable?)

§ God brought floodwaters on all the land of Eden (not all of the earth?) for Enoch was to testify up to the time of the condemnation.

§ Enoch burned incense in the sanctuary before the lord on the mountain. The lord had four places on Earth: Garden of Eden, Mountain of the East, Mount Sinai, and Mount Zion, which he created. (Are these space stations on Earth?)

§ Jacob stole Esau’s birthright. Esau was called Edom. Because of famine, Isaac was going down into Egypt, but first went to king Abimelech of the Philistines in Gerar. The lord appeared to him and said, "Don’t go to Egypt, but stay in this land and sojourn."

§ Isaac was protected by king Abimelech and waxed strong and became wealthy. The Philistines were envious. Abimelech told him to leave.

§ In the forty-fourth jubilee, Isaac went to the well of Oath and the lord appeared to him that night. Isaac built an altar and offered a sacrifice. Isaac spoke of the Philistines being destroyed by the hands of Kittim, also called Philistines and Caphtorim.

§ Esau took wives from Canaan.

§ Jacob sought a wife from the daughters of his Uncle Laban and he came to Bethel (site of a space port?) and slept. He dreamed and saw a ladder set on earth reaching into heaven and angels of the lord ascended and descended, and the lord stood on it, and the lord spoke to Jacob confirming the covenant. (Apparently the lord confirmed the covenant with each generation.) When Jacob awoke he felt it was the gate of heaven and was afraid. (Was this a spacecraft that had landed and spacemen were loading and unloading?)

§ Jacob married Leah, then Rachel, and sired twelve children by Leah, Rachel, and two handmaidens.

§ Jacob left, Laban pursued, and the lord spoke to Laban and told him not to hurt Jacob so they made a peace pact in the land of Gilead, in the land of the giants, Rephaeim. Laban and Jacob set boundaries to their lands.

§ Rachel stole idols from Laban when she left and she gave these to Jacob. (Why? What was so important about the idols? Were they a communicator with spacecraft or some type of gun?)

§ At this juncture those offering the sacrifices were also eating them. Levi was made a priest and they ate together in the sanctuary. (Why did animal sacrifices and vegetables have to be placed on the altar? Did they need to be cooked?)

§ The Lord appeared to Jacob and said that he should now be called Israel and reaffirmed the covenant. Jacob watched him ascend into heaven (spacecraft?). An angel descended and gave Jacob seven tablets with the future of his generations foretold. When Israel (Jacob) awoke he wrote down all that he had seen and heard. (Had the lord placed him in some type of trance?)

§ It was not Ramses who enslaved the Hebrews, but the king of Canaan who conquered Egypt after Joseph’s death.

§ Pharoah’s daughter who saved Moses was Tharmuth, Moses’ mother was Jochabed, and Armram was his father, who taught him writing.

§ When the lord smote the Egyptians with all of the plagues, did he do it with the aid of his instruments of war on the spacecraft?

§ Prince Mastema (another extra-terrestrial or Atlantean?) stood against Moses and helped the Egyptian sorcerer. The lord smote him with malignant ulcers and destroyed their signs.

The balance of The Book of Jubilee I will leave for your own perusal. When reading more comprehensive writings of these events, we begin to see patterns that cannot be found in the Bible. There are two questions that I ask? Were these sagas originally of Chaldean origin and edited for Judaism? Were the stories of god in the Old Testament about a divine something as we interpret God, or were they just another being such as ourselves? We may draw our own conclusions.
