Testing the Book of Jubilees

This teaching reviews the Book of Jubilees, a second‑century BC pseudepigraphal work that retells Genesis and Exodus in ‘jubilees’ of 49 years【884453740921253†L43-L62】. Jubilees advocates a 364‑day solar calendar, adds to the Mosaic Law and glorifies the patriarchs, and only a 6th‑century Ethiopic manuscript survives【884453740921253†L43-L62】. Because it alters Scripture and lacks canonical authority【884453740921253†L120-L135】, the video urges caution when reading it.
