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

The video warns against building doctrine on non‑canonical writings.

Viewers are cautioned to rely on Scripture, not on spurious works.
