The Book of Yasher (Jasher) Parts 63 and 64

 

The Book of Yasher (Jasher) Parts 63 and 64

 

    Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144Judah! We are now on "The Book of Yasher" (Jasher). This is an apocryphal text, meaning it was taken out of the bible. This book is included in some versions still today. One of the biggest reasons for doing this: it is referenced in three sections in the bible. Why would they take a book out that has been referenced? Well, we know that they did this also to Enoch, and Enoch is a very important book. I tend to find when "official" people don't include something, it means they don't want us to know what's what. And...me, being me, doesn't like that. So, pull up a chair, and put your thinking cap on. Better yet, put your feeling cap on, and let me know what you feel about this! Any questions? Email me at theawakeningtalk@gmail.com. 

63 LEVI AND THE PHARAOH DIED; PETTY WARS 3

Levi the son of Yacob died. Melol the new Pharaoh and the Egyptians began to embitter the lives of the sons of Yacob. Petty Wars continued and contentions of the Nations of Africa with Zepho.

1 And in the ninety-third year died Levi, the son of Yacob, in Egypt, and Levi was a hundred and thirty-seven years old when he died, and they put him into a coffin and he was given into the hands of his children.

2 And it came to pass after the death of Levi, when all Egypt saw that the sons of Yacob the brethren of Yoseph were dead, all the Egyptians began to afflict the children of Yacob, and to embitter their lives from that day unto the day of their going forth from Egypt, and they took from their hands all the vineyards and fields which Yoseph had given unto them, and all the elegant houses in which the people of Yisrael lived, and all the fat of Egypt, the Egyptians took all from the sons of Yacob in those days.

3 And the hand of all Egypt became more grievous in those days against the children of Yisrael, and the Egyptians injured the Yisraelites until the children of Yisrael were wearied of their lives on account of the Egyptians.

4 And it came to pass in those days, in the hundred and second year of Yisrael's going down to Egypt, that Pharaoh king of Egypt died, and Melol his son reigned in his stead, and all the mighty men of Egypt and all that generation which knew Yoseph and his brethren died in those days.

5 And another generation rose up in their stead, which had not known the sons of Yacob and all the good which they had done to them, and all their might in Egypt.

6 Therefore all Egypt began from that day forth to embitter the lives of the sons of Yacob, and to afflict them with all manner of hard labor, because they had not known their ancestors who had delivered them in the days of the famine.

7 And this was also from YAHWEH, for the children of Yisrael, to benefit them in their latter days, in order that all the children of Yisrael might know YAHWEH their Elohim.

8 And in order to know the signs and mighty wonders which YAHWEH would do in Egypt on account of his people Yisrael, in order that the children of Yisrael might fear YAHWEH the Elohim of their ancestors, and walk in all his ways, they and their seed after them all the days.

9 Melol was twenty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned ninety-four years, and all Egypt called his name Pharaoh after the name of his father, as it was their custom to do to every king who reigned over them in Egypt.

10 At that time all the troops of Angeas king of Africa went forth to spread along the land of Chittim as usual for plunder.

11 And Zepho the son of Eliphaz the son of Esau (Jacob's Twin Brother) heard their report, and he went forth to meet them with his army, and he fought them there in the road.

12 And Zepho smote the troops of the king of Africa with the edge of the sword, and left none remaining of them, and not even one returned to his master in Africa.

13 And Angeas heard of this which Zepho the son of Eliphaz had done to all his troops, that he had destroyed them, and Angeas assembled all his troops, all the men of the land of Africa, a people numerous like the sand by the sea shore.

14 And Angeas sent to Lucus his brother, saying, Come to me with all your men and help me to smite Zepho and all the children of Chittim who have destroyed my men, and Lucus came with his whole army, a very great force, to assist Angeas his brother to fight with Zepho and the children of Chittim.

15 And Zepho and the children of Chittim heard this thing, and they were greatly afraid and a great terror fell upon their hearts.

16 And Zepho also sent a letter to the land of Edom to Hadad the son of Bedad king of Edom and to all the children of Esau, saying,

17 I have heard that Angeas king of Africa is coming to us with his brother for battle against us, and we are greatly afraid of him, for his army is very great, particularly as he comes against us with his brother and his army likewise.

18 Now therefore come you also up with me and help me, and we will fight together against Angeas and his brother Lucus, and you will save us out of their hands, but if not, know ye that we shall all die.

19 And the children of Esau sent a letter to the children of Chittim and to Zepho their king, saying, We cannot fight against Angeas and his people for a covenant of peace has been between us these many years, from the days of Bela the first king, and from the days of Yoseph the son of Yacob king of Egypt, with whom we fought on the other side of Jordan when he buried his father.

20 And when Zepho heard the words of his brethren the children of Esau he refrained from them, and Zepho was greatly afraid of Angeas.

21 And Angeas and Lucus his brother arrayed all their forces, about eight hundred thousand men, against the children of Chittim.

22 And all the children of Chittim said unto Zepho, Pray for us to YAHWEH the Elohim of your ancestors, peradventure he may deliver us from the hand of Angeas and his army, for we have heard that HE is a great Elohim and that he delivers all who trust in him.

23 And Zepho heard their words, and Zepho sought YAHWEH and he said,

24 O YAHWEH the Elohim of Abraham and Isaac my ancestors, this day I know that you are a true Elohim, and all the gods of the nations are vain and useless.

25 Remember now this day unto me your covenant with Abraham our father, which our ancestors related unto us, and do mercifully with me this day for the sake of Abraham and Isaac our fathers, and save me and the children of Chittim from the hand of the king of Africa who comes against us for battle.

26 And YAHWEH hearkened to the voice of Zepho, and he had regard for him on account of Abraham and Isaac, and YAHWEH delivered Zepho and the children of Chittim from the hand of Angeas and his people.

27 And Zepho fought Angeas king of Africa and all his people on that day, and YAHWEH gave all the people of Angeas into the hands of the children of Chittim.

28 And the battle was severe upon Angeas, and Zepho smote all the men of Angeas and Lucus his brother, with the edge of the sword, and there fell from them unto the evening of that day about four hundred thousand men.

29 And when Angeas saw that all his men perished, he sent a letter to all the inhabitants of Africa to come to him, to assist him in the battle, and he wrote in the letter, saying, All who are found in Africa let them come unto me from ten years old and upward; let them all come unto me, and behold if he comes not he shall die, and all that he has, with his whole household, the king will take. (Can you imagine having to do something at 10 years old with the threat of death?)

30 And all the rest of the inhabitants of Africa were terrified at the words of Angeas, and there went out of the city about three hundred thousand men and boys, from ten years upward, and they came to Angeas.

31 And at the end of ten days Angeas renewed the battle against Zepho and the children of Chittim, and the battle was very great and strong between them.

32 And from the army of Angeas and Lucus, Zepho sent many of the wounded unto his hand, about two thousand men, and Sosiphtar the captain of the host of Angeas fell in that battle.

33 And when Sosiphtar had fallen, the African troops turned their backs to flee, and they fled, and Angeas and Lucus his brother were with them.

34 And Zepho and the children of Chittim pursued them, and they smote them still heavily on the road, about two hundred men, and they pursued Azdrubal the son of Angeas who had fled with his father, and they smote twenty of his men in the road, and Azdrubal escaped from the children of Chittim, and they did not slay him.

35 And Angeas and Lucus his brother fled with the rest of their men, and they escaped and came into Africa with terror and consternation, and Angeas feared all the days lest Zepho the son of Eliphaz should go to war with him.

64 ZEPHO LEADS ARMY

Zepho Leads a Great Army of Chittimites, Edomites, and Ishmaelites against Egypt. Three Hundred Thousand Egyptians put to Flight, but One Hundred and Fifty Men of Yisrael prevail against Zepho.

1 And Balaam the son of Beor was at that time with Angeas in the battle, and when he saw that Zepho prevailed over Angeas, he fled from there and came to Chittim.

2 And Zepho and the children of Chittim received him with great honor, for Zepho knew Balaam's wisdom, and Zepho gave unto Balaam many gifts and he remained with him.

3 And when Zepho had returned from the war, he commanded all the children of Chittim to be numbered who had gone into battle with him, and behold not one was missed.

4 And Zepho rejoiced at this thing, and he renewed his kingdom, and he made a feast to all his subjects.

5 But Zepho remembered not YAHWEH and considered not that YAHWEH had helped him in battle, and that he had delivered him and his people from the hand of the king of Africa, but still walked in the ways of the children of Chittim and the wicked children of Esau, to serve other gods which his brethren the children of Esau had taught him; it is therefore said, From the wicked goes forth wickedness.  (When do you think these people will learn not to put other gods before The Most High?)

6 And Zepho reigned over all the children of Chittim securely, but knew not YAHWEH who had delivered him and all his people from the hand of the king of Africa; and the troops of Africa came no more to Chittim to plunder as usual, for they knew of the power of Zepho who had smitten them all at the edge of the sword, so Angeas was afraid of Zepho the son of Eliphaz, and of the children of Chittim all the days.

7 At that time when Zepho had returned from the war, and when Zepho had seen how he prevailed over all the people of Africa and had smitten them in battle at the edge of the sword, then Zepho advised with the children of Chittim, to go to Egypt to fight with the sons of Yacob and with Pharaoh king of Egypt.

8 For Zepho heard that the mighty men (giants/nephilim) of Egypt were dead and that Yoseph and his brethren the sons at Yacob were dead, and that all their children the children of Yisrael remained in Egypt.

9 And Zepho considered to go to fight against them and all Egypt, to avenge the cause of his brethren the children of Esau, whom Yoseph with his brethren and all Egypt had smitten in the land of Canaan, when they went up to bury Yacob in Hebron.

10 And Zepho sent messengers to Hadad, son of Bedad, king of Edom, and to all his brethren the children of Esau, saying,

11 Did you not say that you would not fight against the king of Africa for he is a member of your covenant? behold I fought with him and smote him and all his people.

12 Now therefore I have resolved to fight against Egypt and the children of Yacob who are there, and I will be revenged of them for what Yoseph, his brethren and ancestors did to us in the land of Canaan when they went up to bury their father in Hebron. (sooooo not smart.)

13 Now then if you are willing to come to me to assist me in fighting against them and Egypt, then shall we avenge the cause of our brethren.

14 And the children of Esau hearkened to the words of Zepho, and the children of Esau gathered themselves together, a very great people, and they went to assist Zepho and the children of Chittim in battle.

15 And Zepho sent to all the children of the east and to all the children of Ishmael with words like unto these, and they gathered themselves and came to the assistance of Zepho and the children of Chittim in the war upon Egypt.

16 And all these kings, the king of Edom and the children of the east, and all the children of Ishmael, and Zepho the king of Chittim went forth and arrayed all their hosts in Hebron.

17 And the camp was very heavy, extending in length a distance of three days' journey, a people numerous as the sand upon the sea shore which can not be counted.

18 And all these kings and their hosts went down and came against all Egypt in battle, and encamped together in the valley of Pathros.

19 And all Egypt heard their report, and they also gathered themselves together, all the people of the land of Egypt, and of all the cities belonging to Egypt, about three hundred thousand men.

20 And the men of Egypt sent also to the children of Yisrael who were in those days in the land of Goshen, to come to them in order to go and fight with these kings.

21 And the men of Yisrael assembled and were about one hundred and fifty men, and they went into battle to assist the Egyptians.

22 And the men of Yisrael and of Egypt went forth, about three hundred thousand men and one hundred and fifty men, and they went toward these kings to battle, and they placed themselves from without the land of Goshen opposite Pathros. (so 150 of God's Children vs more men than can be counted... Seems fair. lol)

23 And the Egyptians believed not in Yisrael to go with them in their camps together for battle, for all the Egyptians said, Perhaps the children of Yisrael will deliver us into the hand of the children of Esau and Ishmael, for they are their brethren.

24 And all the Egyptians said unto the children of Yisrael, Remain you here together in your stand and we will go and fight against the children of Esau and Ishmael, and if these kings should prevail over us, then come you altogether upon them and assist us, and the children of Yisrael did so.

25 And Zepho the son of Eliphaz the son of Esau king of Chittim, and Hadad the son of Bedad king of Edom, and all their camps, and all the children of the east, and children of Ishmael, a people numerous as sand, encamped together in the valley of Pathros opposite Tachpanches.

26 And Balaam the son of Beor the Syrian was there in the camp of Zepho, for he came with the children of Chittim to the battle, and Balaam was a man highly honored in the eyes of Zepho and his men.

27 And Zepho said unto Balaam, Try by divination for us that we may know who will prevail in the battle, we or the Egyptians.

28 And Balaam rose up and tried the art of divination, and he was skillful in the knowledge of it, but he was confused and the work was destroyed in his hand.

29 And he tried it again but it did not succeed, and Balaam despaired of it and left it and did not complete it, for this was from YAHWEH, in order to cause Zepho and his people to fall into the hand of the children of Yisrael, who had trusted in YAHWEH, the Elohim of their ancestors, in their war.

30 And Zepho and Hadad put their forces in battle array, and all the Egyptians went alone against them, about three hundred thousand men, and not one man of Yisrael was with them.

31 And all the Egyptians fought with these kings opposite Pathros and Tachpanches, and the battle was severe against the Egyptians.

32 And the kings were stronger than the Egyptians in that battle, and about one hundred and eighty men of Egypt fell on that day, and about thirty men of the forces of the kings, and all the men of Egypt fled from before the kings, so the children of Esau and Ishmael pursued the Egyptians, continuing to smite them unto the place where was the camp of the children of Yisrael.

33 And all the Egyptians cried unto the children of Yisrael, saying, Hasten to us and assist us and save us from the hand of Esau, Ishmael and the children of Chittim.

34 And the hundred and fifty men of the children of Yisrael ran from their station to the camps of these kings, and the children of Yisrael cried unto YAHWEH their Elohim to deliver them.

35 And YAHWEH hearkened to Yisrael, and YAHWEH gave all the men of the kings into their hand, and the children of Yisrael fought against these kings, and the children of Yisrael smote about four thousand of the kings' men.

36 And YAHWEH threw a great consternation (feeling of dismay/anxiety) in the camp of the kings, so that the fear of the children of Yisrael fell upon them.

37 And all the hosts of the kings fled from before the children of Yisrael and the children of Yisrael pursued them continuing to smite them unto the borders of the land of Cush.

38 And the children of Yisrael slew of them in the road yet two thousand men, and of the children of Yisrael not one fell.

39 And when the Egyptians saw that the children of Yisrael had fought with such few men with the kings, and that the battle was so very severe against them,

40 All the Egyptians were greatly afraid of their lives on account of the strong battle, and all Egypt fled, every man hiding himself from the arrayed forces, and they hid themselves in the road, and they left the Yisraelites to fight.

41 And the children of Yisrael inflicted a terrible blow upon the kings' men, and they returned from them after they had driven them to the border of the land of Cush.

42 And all Yisrael knew the thing which the men of Egypt had done to them, that they had fled from them in battle, and had left them to fight alone.

43 So the children of Yisrael also acted with cunning, and as the children of Yisrael returned from battle, they found some of the Egyptians in the road and smote them there.

44 And while they slew them, they said unto them these words:

45 Wherefore did you go from us and leave us, being a few people, to fight against these kings who had a great people to smite us, that you might thereby deliver your own souls?

46 And of some which the Yisraelites met on the road, they the children of Yisrael spoke to each other, saying, Smite, smite, for he is an Ishmaelite, or an Edomite, or from the children of Chittim, and they stood over him and slew him, and they knew that he was an Egyptian.

47 And the children of Yisrael did these things cunningly against the Egyptians, because they had deserted them in battle and had fled from them.

48 And the children of Yisrael slew of the men of Egypt in the road in this manner, about two hundred men.

49 And all the men of Egypt saw the evil which the children of Yisrael had done to them, so all Egypt feared greatly the children of Yisrael, for they had seen their great power, and that not one man of them had fallen.

50 So all the children of Yisrael returned with joy on their road to Goshen, and the rest of Egypt returned each man to his place.

Yeah, I don't know why people still come up against Israel. It's one of those things that really perplexes me... Why would you after so many times of seeing what happens when you mess with Yahweh's people? 

It is terrible that they were doing evil against the Egyptians.. I am sure that's why they were enslaved for 400+ years after. We shall see... We are out of the Genesis portion of Yasher finally, and heading toward the story of the Exodus... I guess this portion will explain the enslavement. 

What do you think? Would you mess with Yahweh's people or would you give up before you started? 

I'll see you tomorrow!

The Book of Jubilees: Chapters 48 and 49 (Lesser Genesis)

                Hi, and thank you for joining me at 144Judah! "The Book of the Jubilees" which is also known by some as "Lesser Genesis" is a very interesting book as it gives us more background and how the background was given. We learned in part one that Moses received this word on Mount Sinai from an Angel/Malek (Messenger) of the LORD, in the second chapter, we learn about what God created and on which days...and we also learn that God's Chosen People: ISRAEL are to keep the Shabbats. To not do so is to die. Yesterday, we learned that Adam and Eve were cursed for taking from the tree in the middle of the Garden, then we go down the lines until we hit Noah and his family and learn that there were a lot more people born of Adam and Eve then we have heard of in Genesis. After this, Noah gets into the Ark and the waters begin to rise; and the world completely changes and we are given our calendar. 13 weeks between each change of the season. 4 Divisions. Each start at the Observance of the New Moon. 364 Day calendar! As Noah commands his son about the observances and of what he sees of his own children and how they have been fighting and their children aren't doing what they are supposed to, Noah tells them that he worries that they will be taken care of by God...and not in a good way, which leads us to the sons of Noah dividing their inheritance (the earth) by using lots. We learn of the land which they decided upon, and Noah is overjoyed because of a prophecy that he had spoken about Shem and The Almighty God blessing him. Who are Shem's people -- eventually? The Sons of Jacob...The Twelve Tribes... ISRAEL. And in the 9th Chapter, Noah has his son's swear an oath that when they divide their land to their sons, that none of them will try to take any of their brothers' land. What happens if they do? Cursed... which brings us to Canaan and how he stole from Shem's lot... which makes a lot more sense as to why Canaan is The Land of Milk and Honey and how it is The Promised Land of God's Chosen People through Shem's line. Then we come to Babel, and the son's language have now been confounded...and the people who once spoke Hebrew are no longer. Things are far away from The Most High God now, and the land has now gone from being divided between Noah's son's sons to Ham's son Canaan, taking Shem's land. So...we now are seeing the line that leads us down into Abram (Abraham) who we learn loves God and has learned basically what not to do from his father's example. And the coolest part? God speaks to him and Abraham listens! God chooses him because Abraham chose God and God reveals to him the language of Hebrew, and now Abraham has been given his fathers' books... what books you say? Oh, just the ones that Noah scribed... And guess what? Nobody has been able to read the language for many years. So, this all fits with the other book that I have been reading "The Book of Formation" Serif Yetzirah... After favoring and blessing Abraham, God shows him everything that he can see and tells him that this land and all of it is his and his people's. He is the Father of All Nations! So, now we learn that Lot, his nephew, has been taken, and Abraham leaves to go get him. Which brings us to Abram having a vision and a promise that he will father a child, that he will have many. God shows him that his people will be strangers in a strange land for 400 years...which brings us to the circumcision and the importance of it and what it means to get it and not get it. This is the torah...We see in 16 that Abraham will not pass away until after he sees all of his children born (6 more sons) after Isaac. We also learn that all of those children of Abraham will be gentiles....all but Isaac. In Isaac is the Holy Kodesh...seed... At the end of 17, the demon prince wants Yahweh to ask Abraham to offer Isaac as a sacrifice to see if he will do it or not... This is a whole Job situation here...and now we have made it to the 18th and 19th chapter where Jacob and Esau are born and Isaac loves Esau the best and Rebecca loves Jacob the best, but Abraham's blessing is going to go to Jacob... He tells Rebecca to take care of Jacob because he is special. And now we come to 20 and 21 where Abraham is on his death bed and gives instructions on what to do and what not to do... One is no fornicating, and the other no marrying anyone from Canaan... The people from Canaan will be rooted out... In 22 and 23 we learn that Abraham has died with Jacob in his arms -- after blessing him greatly. We also learn why we die so early and the upcoming tribulation, and then there is Esau and Jacob...Esau gives his birthright to Jacob for a bowl of soup out of red pottery, he is then known as Edom... Esau also is with two women from Canaan! Remember what Abraham said about Canaan? DON'T GO THERE! Esau went...now his people will be rooted out in the end... Which leads us to Palestine...I mean Luz, I mean Bethel, the place where God has blessed and where Jacob had his vision of the "ladder from heaven to earth"...Surely this is GOD'S Land! And what about "The Heap of Witness" conforming from what it used to be called "The Land of The Rephaim (Giants)"? And then we have Jacob, and his twelve sons...and one daughter. His daughter is defiled, and two of his sons execute judgment on the entire town that defiled her! So, Yahweh, blesses them and curses anyone who curses ISRAEL. And guess what? The Shechemites cursed Dinah, so Yahweh gave Levi Righteous Judgment... All in the house of Shechem that were males were executed. Then we see Jacob make it back to his mother and father, just as Yahweh has promised! So, Jacob set up a pillar in Bethel (the one that he set up before) and went with his two sons, Levi and Judah, to get his parents to bring them there and offer up the sacrifice to Yahweh as a blessing, but Isaac was too weak, so he took mother and her cousin Deborah, but not before Isaac blessed Levi and Judah! Then we learn something that shocked me to my core...the reason why Canaan was cursed! Ham slept with his own MOTHER... He uncovered his father's nakedness... we find this out by the wording of the same act with Reuben and Bilah... Reuben defiled her, and committed a sin against his father. And Rebecca is on her death bed, has Isaac promise to talk to Esau about not killing Jacob, and Isaac admits that even though Esau was his favorite son, he knows that is no longer the case because Esau is evil. Then we come to Esau and Jacob fighting... Jacob ends up killing him, and many of his people are taken down by Jacob's sons who end up getting Esau's children to bow to them. Finally we are back to Joseph. He is 17 now, and he is a prisoner in Pharaoh's prison because Pharoh's wife lied, but God's got Joseph. He is favoured, and ends up basically being in charge of the prison. He meets two of Pharoh's workers that Pharoh put there, and they both had a dream on the same night. Joseph interpreted the dreams as one died and the other would get out, and eventually...Joseph would too.  And now we head back to Jacob's sons' sons... First we find out that Judah married a Canaanite (What in the world are these men doing?) and she and Judah had three sons, Er, Onan and Shelah. Judah didn't want his sons to marry a woman from Canaan (I'm guessing he finally listened) so he set Er up with Tamar. Well, Er didn't want her, he wanted a woman from his mother's lineage, so God killed him. Then Tamar, seeing as she was promised a husband, was then promised to Onan (per tradition), well, Onan didn't want his seed to be his brother's kid, (weird way of thinking of it,) so he spilled it on the ground, and...God killed him. So, now, Shelah was up next to get Tamar, but Judah's wife didn't want Shelah to have her, so Judah tarried on that, and after his wife died, he was out and about and Tamar tricked him into being with her, which wasn't a good thing. He ended up getting her pregnant, and she had twins. And since he repented of his sin of showing his son's nakedness (the whole thing with being with his son's wife) God allowed his seed to not be uprooted, and in that is the line that goes directly to Yeshua! After all this, we are back on Joseph... So, Joseph's family is basically starving, and Jacob (Israel) finds out that Egypt has some food stored up so he sends his kids out to get some. When they do, the pharaoh (Joseph) asks why there is someone missing from their group, and they tell them that one brother stayed at home in case they got in trouble, and he said that he doesn't believe them so he would keep one brother, until they bring the other one back as an insurance policy... (Obviously, I'm paraphrasing.) So, they go back to their father, they have their money, too, which doesn't look good, and they explain the situation, and Reuben offers to go and take Benjamin, and get Simeon back, but Jacob says no. Then Judah offers, and offers him up as a tribute basically to get Simeon and he said that he would take care of Benjamin. After a while of not having food, Jacob finally agrees. They go, and Joseph tricks them and puts a cup of his own in Benjamin's bag (So he can keep his brother as a slave) but Judah pleads with him and explains the situation. Joseph's heart opens and he said that it all worked out (the selling of him) because God used him in order to save everyone. All is well now, and they head back with all sorts of corn and asses to give to Jacob in order to bring him to Joseph to show him that he is indeed alive. After they bring him into Goshen, Egypt's best land, Jacob lives for another 17 years. He tells his sons of his vision, and gives Levi the books of his fathers, which leads us into Joseph's eventual death and the death of his brothers. The sons of Israel all being buried in Canaan--except for Joseph who was buried in Egypt. Then Israel (the people) being tricked into slavery by the Egyptians.... because they were getting way too big and the Pharaoh, whom didn't know Joseph, wouldn't be able to contain them. 

Once again, my commentary on this is in BOLD. :) Enjoy!  This is copied from online sources as it is FREE for all. This book was taken out by almost all mainstream bibles. I use the KJV and it was removed by the Nicean Council. More on that later.

The Book Of Jubilees Chapter 48

Mosheh returns from Midian to Egypt

1 And in the sixth year of the third week of the forty-ninth jubilee you did depart and dwell (in [2372 A.M.] the land of Midian, five weeks and one year. And you did return into Egypt in the second week in the second year in the fiftieth jubilee. (So, I don't know if you remember or not about the significance of what is being said here. A jubilee is seven years. 49 years makes it a Shmita. On the fiftieth year- that is a year of abundance. Of a debt being cancelled. This is major. So, Moses is going into Egypt to get his people all in time for their debt to be cancelled. We are just now into our 50th year now in present time. This is 2023, and in Hebrew time it is the year 5784...The year of the OPEN DOOR... This is a year for debt cancellation, and it started in September during the Feast of Trumpets. What do you think will happen?!)

2 And you yourself know what He spoke to you on [2410 A.M.] Mount Sinai, and what prince Mastema desired to do with you when you were returning into Egypt. (I am not liking Mastema... obviously. It is super annoying that Mastema is even allowed in our lives.)

3 Did he not with all his power seek to slay you and deliver the Egyptians out of your hand when he saw that you were sent to execute judgment and vengeance on the Egyptians?

4 And I delivered you out of his hand, and you didst perform the signs and wonders which you were sent to perform in Egypt against Pharaoh, and against all his house, and against his servants and his people.

5 And YAHWEH executed a great vengeance on them for Yisrael's sake, and smote them through (the plagues of) blood and frogs, lice and dog-flies, and malignant boils breaking forth in blains; and their cattle by death; and by hail-stones, thereby He destroyed everything that grew for them; and by locusts which devoured the residue which had been left by the hail, and by darkness; and (by the death) of the first-born of men and animals, and on all their idols YAHWEH took vengeance and burned them with fire.

6 And everything was sent through your hand, that you should declare (these things) before they were done, and you did speak with the king of Egypt before all his servants and before his people.

7 And everything took place according to your words; ten great and terrible judgments came on the land of Egypt that you might execute vengeance on it for Yisrael.

8 And YAHWEH did everything for Yisrael's sake, and according to His covenant, which he had ordained with Abraham that He would take vengeance on them as they had brought them by force into bondage.

9 And the prince Mastema stood up against you, and sought to cast you into the hands of Pharaoh, and he helped the Egyptian sorcerers,

10 And they stood up and wrought before you the evils indeed we permitted them to work, but the remedies we did not allow to be wrought by their hands. (So funny... so this, once again, proves that people can be influenced by evil entities. This is a fourth dimensional spirit and it is influencing the Egyptian sorcerers. God tells us to "Test the spirit"...This is super important! Especially for today!)

11 And YAHWEH smote them with malignant ulcers, and they were not able to stand, for we destroyed them so that they could not perform a single sign.

12 And notwithstanding all (these) signs and wonders the prince Mastema was not put to shame because he took courage and cried to the Egyptians to pursue after you with all the powers of the Egyptians, with their chariots, and with their horses, and with all the hosts of the peoples of Egypt.

13 And I stood between the Egyptians and Yisrael, and we delivered Yisrael out of his hand, and out of the hand of his people, and YAHWEH brought them through the midst of the sea as if it were dry land. (GO YAHWEH!)

14 And all the peoples whom he brought to pursue after Yisrael, YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler cast them into the midst of the sea, into the depths of the abyss beneath the children of Yisrael, even as the people of Egypt had cast their children into the river He took vengeance on 1,000,000 of them, and one thousand strong and energetic men were destroyed on account of one suckling of the children of your people which they had thrown into the river.

15 And on the fourteenth day and on the fifteenth and on the sixteenth and on the seventeenth and on the eighteenth the prince Mastema was bound and imprisoned behind the children of Yisrael that he might not accuse them.

16 And on the nineteenth we let them loose that they might help the Egyptians and pursue the children of Yisrael.

17 And he hardened their hearts and made them stubborn, and the device was devised by YAHWEH our Sovereign Ruler that He might smite the Egyptians and cast them into the sea.

18 And on the fourteenth we bound him that he might not accuse the children of Yisrael on the day when they asked the Egyptians for vessels and garments, vessels of silver, and vessels of gold, and vessels of bronze, in order to despoil the Egyptians in return for the bondage in which they had forced them to serve.

19 And we did not lead forth the children of Yisrael from Egypt empty handed.

 NOW that is the way to do things! 

The Book Of Jubilees Chapter 49

Remember the commandment of the Passover

1 Remember the commandment which YAHWEH commanded you concerning the Passover, that you should celebrate it in its season on the fourteenth of the first month, that you should kill it before it is evening, and that they should eat it by night on the evening of the fifteenth from the time of the setting of the sun.

2 For on this night -the beginning of the festival and the beginning of the joy- you were eating the Passover in Egypt, when all the powers of Mastema had been let loose to slay all the first-born in the land of Egypt, from the first-born of Pharaoh to the first-born of the captive maid-servant in the mill, and to the cattle.

3 And this is the sign which YAHWEH gave them: Into every house on the lintels of which they saw the blood of a lamb of the first year, into that house they should not enter to slay, but should pass by it, that all those should be saved that were in the house because the sign of the blood was on its lintels.

4 And the powers of YAHWEH did everything according as YAHWEH commanded them, and they passed by all the children of Yisrael, and the plague came not upon them to destroy from amongst them any soul either of cattle, or man, or dog.

5 And the plague was very grievous in Egypt, and there was no house in Egypt where there was not one dead, and weeping and lamentation.

6 And all Yisrael was eating the flesh of the paschal lamb, and drinking the wine, and was lauding, and blessing, and giving thanks to YAHWEH ALMIGHTY of their fathers, and was ready to go forth from under the yoke of Egypt, and from the evil bondage.

7 And remember you this day all the days of your life, and observe it from year to year all the days of your life, once a year, on its day, according to all the Torah thereof, and do not adjourn it from day to day, or from month to month.

8 For it is an eternal ordinance, and engraved on the heavenly tablets regarding all the children of Yisrael that they should observe it every year on its day once a year, throughout all their generations; and there is no limit of days, for this is ordained forever.

9 And the man who is free from uncleanness, and does not come to observe it on occasion of its day, so as to bring an acceptable offering before YAHWEH, and to eat and to drink before YAHWEH on the day of its festival, that man who is clean and close at hand shall be cut off: because he offered not the oblation of YAHWEH in its appointed season, he shall take the guilt upon himself.

10 Let the children of Yisrael come and observe the Passover on the day of its fixed time, on the fourteenth day of the first month, between the evenings, from the third part of the day to the third part of the night, for two portions of the day are given to the light, and a third part to the evening.

11 This is that which YAHWEH commanded you that you should observe it between the evenings.

12 And it is not permissible to slay it during any period of the light, but during the period bordering on the evening, and let them eat it at the time of the evening, until the third part of the night, and whatever is left over of all its flesh from the third part of the night and onwards, let them burn it with fire.

13 And they shall not cook it with water, nor shall they eat it raw, but roast on the fire: they shall eat it with diligence, its head with the inwards thereof and its feet they shall roast with fire, and not break any bone thereof; for of the children of Yisrael no bone shall be crushed.

14 For this reason YAHWEH commanded the children of Yisrael to observe the Passover on the day of its fixed time, and they shall not break a bone thereof; for it is a festival day, and a day commanded, and there may be no passing over from day to day, and month to month, but on the day of its festival let it be observed.

15 And do you command the children of Yisrael to observe the Passover throughout their days, every year, once a year on the day of its fixed time, and it shall come for a memorial well pleasing before YAHWEH, and no plague shall come upon them to slay or to smite in that year in which they celebrate the Passover in its season in every respect according to His command.

16 And they shall not eat it outside the sanctuary of YAHWEH, but before the sanctuary of YAHWEH, and all the people of the congregation of Yisrael shall celebrate it in its appointed season.

17 And every man who has come upon its day shall eat it in the sanctuary of your ALMIGHTY before YAHWEH from twenty years old and upward; for thus is it written and ordained that they should eat it in the sanctuary of YAHWEH. (Twenty years old and upward...Interesting...is this when they are considered an adult?)

18 And when the children of Yisrael come into the land which they are to possess, into the land of Canaan, and set up the tabernacle of YAHWEH in the midst of the land in one of their tribes until the sanctuary of YAHWEH has been built in the land, let them come and celebrate the Passover in the midst of the tabernacle of YAHWEH, and let them slay it before YAHWEH from year to year.

19 And in the days when the house has been built in the NAME of YAHWEH in the land of their inheritance, they shall go there and slay the Passover in the evening, at sunset, at the third part of the day.

20 And they shall offer its blood on the threshold of the altar, and shall place its fat on the fire which is upon the altar, and they shall eat its flesh roasted with fire in the court of the house which has been sanctified in the NAME of YAHWEH.

21 And they may not celebrate the Passover in their cities, nor in any place save before the tabernacle of YAHWEH, or before His house where His NAME has dwelt; and they shall not go astray from YAHWEH.

22 And do you, Mosheh, command the children of Yisrael to observe the ordinances of the Passover, as it was commanded to you; declare you unto them every year and the day of its days, and the festival of unleavened bread, that they should eat unleavened bread seven days, and that they should observe its festival, and that they bring an oblation(an offering to God) every day during those seven days of joy before YAHWEH on the altar of YAHWEH your ALMIGHTY.

23 For you celebrated this festival with haste when you went forth from Egypt till you entered into the wilderness of Shur; for on the shore of the sea you completed it.

I really like this book. When you read Exodus and really get into how Moses received his information, you don't get a backstory like this. You basically just get that he received this word from Mount Sinai. I can't imagine the stress that Moses had to have to get all of this stuff off the ground. He had a ton of people with him, and he was now their teacher. The stress of it all would have driven me crazy. I can't imagine the responsibility that was on his shoulders to get these people out of "slave" mentality and to stop worshipping other gods...let alone to get the feasts right.
