Book of Jubilees

Japanese: ヨベル書 - ヨベルしょ(英語表記)Book of Jubilees
Book of Jubilees
A book in the Old Testament pseudepigraphy. It describes the history from the creation of the world to that point, as told to Moses by an angel when he received the stone tablets of the covenant from God on Mount Sinai. It expands on the biblical accounts from Genesis chapter 1 to Exodus chapter 12, adding folklore and Essene interpretations. It regards the solar calendar, consisting of 364 days (52 weeks) per year, as the only sacred calendar, and divides world history into 49 jubilees, with 1 jubilee = 7 weeks of years = 49 years, and sets history within an absolute calendar that begins with the creation of the world.

旧約聖書偽典中の一書。モーセがシナイ山で神から契約の石板を受け取った際に,天使が彼に語り聞かせた天地創造からその時点までの歴史を内容とする。《創世記》1章から《出エジプト記》12章までの聖書の記述を,民間伝承,エッセネ派的解釈を加えながら敷衍(ふえん)したもの。1年364日(52週)からなる太陽暦を唯一神聖な暦とし,1ヨベル=7週年=49年とし世界史を49ヨベルに分け,天地創造を元年とする絶対年代の中に歴史をはめ込む。
