BOOK OF JUBILEES STANDARDIZED

📖 CHAPTER 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, 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 I have written, that thou mayest teach them.”

And Moses went up into the mount of God, and the 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 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 of the law and of the testimony.

📖 CHAPTER 2

For 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:

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 hoarfrost.

And He created all the spirits of His creatures which are in the heavens and on the earth.

And He created the abyss and the darkness—eventide and night—and the light—dawn and day.

And He sanctified the seventh day and made it holy forever.

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 He built the woman.

And Adam awoke and saw her and said:
“This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh.”

📖 CHAPTER 4

And lawlessness increased on the earth.

📖 CHAPTER 6

And after the children of men had begun 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 chose, and they bore 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 walketh on the earth.

And the Lord destroyed everything from the face of the earth; because of the wickedness of their deeds.
