Jubilees 38:2 says, "Then Ya'aqob bent his bow and shot the arrow and struck Esaw, his brother, and slew him". I'm not a scholar, but I don't recall Jacob killing his brother Esau.

Comment

Jubilees has much that is decent but when we study it out we find that there is only one line of transmission for its tradition and it leads back to the cult of Qumran.

Maybe it originates from there or maybe it’s just the only one remaining and it ran through there but either way, the line of transmission leads back to them and to no where else.

Until and unless more evidence appears we must regard Jubilees as originating with the Qumran community as their own record of their own oral tradition.

And it would be wise to be cautious with all their records. As many have adopted their traditions over-eagerly as original truth when they are the only source for almost all of them.

That is definitely not mentioned anywhere in the canon of Scripture, as far as I am aware.

I'm almost finished reading the book of Jubilees. I went through the trouble of reading the books of Enoch and Jubilees because they are found in the Ethiopian Bible. Although the book of Enoch is a fascinating book, it doesn't really contain knowledge that you absolutely have to know. I'm convinced that although the book of Jubilees has some interesting information, it is not inspired Scripture. I do have the book of Jasher, but I'm going to skip that for now because it is a long book and not found in any Christian cannon and I really want to get to the Apocrypha. I have the one accepted by the Eastern Orthodox Church which has books slightly more than what the Roman Catholic Church accepts.
