and cherish Jacob more than Esau [19:16-31]). The
patriarchs are perceived as the innovators of
culture; writing, medicine, and plowing originated
respectively with Enoch, Noah, and Abraham.
There is a clear polemic against the lunar calendar
(6:36-38), and a possible polemic against the idea
that an angel protects Israel, since angels rule other
nations but God Himself guides Israel (15:31f;
contrast 1QS 3:13ff.). The emphasis of the writing is
upon the exclusiveness of the Jews (no
intermarriage, no eating with the Gentiles, and a
special heavenly calendar), and upon the blessed
joy of the Law." v
Raymond F. Surburg writes: "The materials of
Jubilees are supposed to have been dictated by an
angel of the Presence to Moses, after the latter had
ascended Mount Sinai and been told of the
destinies that awaited Israel. Jubilees is a book of
religious fiction, in which the author has reworked
the story of the history of Israel from the creation
of the world up to the time of the giving of the Law
at Mount Sinai; by comparison with the canonical
Genesis that covers the same territory this must be
said to supplement the Biblical stories. The
additional information is conjectured to have been
handed down orally from father to son. Beginning
at chapter 2, Jubilees parallels the account of the
Hebrew Bible from Gen. 1:1 to Ex. 14:31, with
frequent insertions of midrashic material. The
author of Jubilees has omitted incidents and features of the canonical book. What have been added
might be labeled additions and expansions. It would seem that the material omitted was done for
apologetic reasons. For example, the act of deception by Abraham in Egypt, when he gave Pharaoh the
false impression that Sarah was only his sister, or when Isaac was guilty of a similar act toward
Abimelech; No doubt it was felt that it would be difficult to justify these events. The episode where
Simeon and Levi trapped the people at Shechem into being circumcised and then murdered them when
they were helpless is omitted. The devices employed by Jacob to increase his flocks at the expense of
Laban are not recorded. Likewise Genesis 49, referring to the blessings by Jacob, is not in Jubilees,
because the blessings pronounced on Simeon and Levi do not agree with earlier denunciations by their
father. Other additions have an apologetic tendency, as when Dinah is said to have been raped at the
age of 12, or when Jacob is depicted as giving his parents presents four times a year. The longer
additions of Jubilees were mostly concerned with the ceremonial. The warfare of the Amorites (34:1-9),
and the war of Esau (37 and 38) are treated at length." vi
James C. VanderKam writes: "Jubilees is a work that draws upon the early Enoch booklets (which it
mentions) and Aramaic Levi. It is a retelling of the biblical stories from creation to the scene at Mt. Sinai,
often reproducing parts of Genesis-Exodus but also adding to or subtracting from them. The original
language of the book was almost certainly Hebrew, since all of the fourteen or fifteen fragmentary
copies of it found at Qumran are in that language. The oldest of these copies (4Q216) can be dated to
approximately 125-100 BCE; consequently, the book was almost certainly written before that time. As
