Jubilees 4:1-33

¹And in the third week of the second jubilee [64-70 A.M.] she gave birth to Cain, and in the fourth [71-77 A.M.] she gave birth to Abel, and in the fifth [78-84 A.M.] she gave birth to her daughter Âwân.

²And in the first year of the third jubilee [99-105 A.M.], Cain killed Abel because God accepted the sacrifice of Abel but did not accept the offering of Cain.

³And he killed him in the field, and his blood cried from the ground to heaven, complaining because he had been slain.

⁴And the Lord reproved Cain because of Abel, because he had killed him; and he made him a fugitive on the earth because of the blood of his brother, and he cursed him upon the earth.

⁵And for this reason it is written on the heavenly tablets: 'Cursed is he who strikes his neighbor treacherously, and let all who have seen and heard say, So be it; and the man who has seen and not declared it, let him be accursed as the other.'

⁶And for this reason we announce, when we come before the Lord our God, all the sin that is committed in heaven and on earth, in light and in darkness, and everywhere.

⁷And Adam and his wife mourned for Abel four weeks of years [99-127 A.M.], and in the fourth year of the fifth week [130 A.M.] they became joyful, and Adam knew his wife again, and she bore him a son, and he called his name Seth; for he said, 'God has raised up a second seed for us on the earth in place of Abel, for Cain killed him.'

⁸And in the sixth week [134-40 A.M.] he fathered his daughter Azûrâ.

⁹And Cain took Âwân his sister to be his wife, and she bore him Enoch at the close of the fourth jubilee [190-196 A.M.]. And in the first year of the first week of the fifth jubilee [197 A.M.], houses were built on the earth, and Cain built a city and called its name after the name of his son Enoch.

¹⁰And Adam knew Eve his wife, and she bore yet nine more sons.

¹¹And in the fifth week of the fifth jubilee [225-31 A.M.] Seth took Azûrâ his sister to be his wife, and in the fourth year of the sixth week [235 A.M.] she bore him Enos.

¹²He began to call on the name of the Lord on the earth.

¹³And in the seventh jubilee, in the third week [309-15 A.M.], Enos took Nôâm his sister to be his wife, and she bore him a son in the third year of the fifth week, and he called his name Kenan.

¹⁴And at the close of the eighth jubilee [325, 386-392 A.M.] Kenan took Mûalêlêth his sister to be his wife, and she bore him a son in the ninth jubilee, in the first week, in the third year of this week [395 A.M.], and he called his name Mahalalel.

¹⁵And in the second week of the tenth jubilee [449-55 A.M.] Mahalalel took as his wife Dinah, the daughter of Barakiel, the daughter of his father's brother, and she bore him a son in the third week, in the sixth year [461 A.M.], and he called his name Jared; for in his days the angels of the Lord descended on the earth, those who are named the Watchers, so that they should instruct the children of men, and that they should practice judgment and uprightness on the earth.

¹⁶And in the eleventh jubilee [512-18 A.M.] Jared took for himself a wife, and her name was Baraka, the daughter of Râsûjâl, a daughter of his father's brother, in the fourth week of this jubilee [522 A.M.]; and she bore him a son in the fifth week, in the fourth year of the jubilee, and he called his name Enoch.

¹⁷And he was the first among men born on earth who learned writing, knowledge, and wisdom, and who wrote down in a book the signs of heaven according to the order of their months, so that men might know the seasons of the years according to the order of their separate months.

¹⁸And he was the first to write a testimony, and he testified to the sons of men among the generations of the earth, and recounted the weeks of the jubilees, and made known to them the days of the years, and set in order the months, and recounted the Sabbaths of the years, as we made them known to him.

¹⁹And what was and what will be he saw in a vision of his sleep, as it will happen to the children of men throughout their generations until the day of judgment; he saw and understood everything, and wrote his testimony, and placed the testimony on earth for all the children of men and for their generations.

²⁰And in the twelfth jubilee [582-88 A.M.], in the seventh week of it, he took for himself a wife, and her name was Edna, the daughter of Danel, the daughter of his father's brother; and in the sixth year of this week [587 A.M.] she bore him a son, and he called his name Methuselah.

²¹And moreover he was with the angels of God for these six jubilees of years, and they showed him everything that is on earth and in the heavens, the rule of the sun, and he wrote down everything.

²²And he testified to the Watchers who had sinned with the daughters of men; for these had begun to unite themselves, so as to be defiled, with the daughters of men, and Enoch testified against them all.

²³And he was taken from among the children of men, and we conducted him into the Garden of Eden in majesty and honor, and behold, there he writes down the condemnation and judgment of the world, and all the wickedness of the children of men.

²⁴And on account of him God brought the waters of the flood upon all the land of Eden; for there he was set as a sign, that he should testify against all the children of men, and that he should recount all the deeds of the generations until the day of condemnation.

²⁵And he burned the incense of the sanctuary, namely, sweet spices acceptable before the Lord on the Mount.

²⁶For the Lord has four places on the earth: the Garden of Eden, and the Mount of the East, and this mountain on which you are this day, Mount Sinai, and Mount Zion, which will be sanctified in the new creation for a sanctification of the earth; through it the earth will be sanctified from all its guilt and its uncleanness throughout the generations of the world.

²⁷And in the fourteenth jubilee [652 A.M.] Methuselah took for himself a wife, Edna the daughter of Azrial, the daughter of his father's brother, in the third week, in the first year of this week [701-7 A.M.], and he fathered a son and called his name Lamech.

²⁸And in the fifteenth jubilee, in the third week, Lamech took for himself a wife, and her name was Betenos, the daughter of Baraki'il, the daughter of his father's brother; and in this week she bore him a son, and he called his name Noah, saying, 'This one will comfort me for my trouble and all my work, and for the ground which the Lord has cursed.'

²⁹And at the close of the nineteenth jubilee, in the seventh week, in the sixth year of it [930 A.M.], Adam died, and all his sons buried him in the land of his creation, and he was the first to be buried in the earth.

³⁰And he lacked seventy years of one thousand years; for one thousand years are as one day in the testimony of the heavens, and therefore it was written concerning the tree of knowledge: 'On the day that you eat of it you shall die.' For this reason he did not complete the years of this day, for he died during it.

³¹At the close of this jubilee Cain was killed after him in the same year; for his house fell upon him, and he died in the midst of his house, and he was killed by its stones; for with a stone he had killed Abel, and by a stone he was killed in righteous judgment.

³²For this reason it was ordained on the heavenly tablets: 'With the instrument with which a man kills his neighbor, with the same shall he be killed; in the same manner that he wounded him, in like manner shall they deal with him.'

³³And in the twenty-fifth jubilee [1205 A.M.] Noah took for himself a wife, and her name was Emzârâ, the daughter of Râkê'êl, the daughter of his father's brother, in the first year of the fifth week [1207 A.M.]; and in the third year of it she bore him Shem; in the fifth year of it [1209 A.M.] she bore him Ham; and in the first year of the sixth week [1212 A.M.] she bore him Japheth.
