Jubilees

And it came to pass when Rachel gave birth to Joseph, that Laban went to shear his sheep; because they were three days' journey away from him.

And Jacob saw that Laban was going to shear his sheep, and Jacob called Leah and Rachel and spoke kindly to them that they should go with him to the land of Canaan.

For he told them how he had seen everything in a dream, even everything He had said to him that he should return to his father's house, and they said: "Wherever you go, we will go with you."

And Jacob blessed the God of Isaac his father, and the God of Abraham his father's father, and he arose and mounted his wives and his children, and took all his possessions and crossed the river, and came to the land of Gilead, and Jacob hid his intentions from Laban and did not warn him.

And in the seventh year of the fourth week, Jacob turned toward Gilead, in the first month on the twenty-first day. And Laban pursued him and overtook Jacob on the mountain of Gilead in the first month on the thirteenth day.

And the Lord did not allow him to harm Jacob; because he appeared to him in a dream that night. And Laban spoke with Jacob.

And on the fifteenth of those days, Jacob made a feast for Laban, and for all who came with him, and Jacob swore to Laban on that day, and Laban also to Jacob, that none should cross the mountain of Gilead to the other with evil intent.

And he erected there a heap of stones as a witness; therefore the name of that place is called: "The Mount of Witness" because of that heap of stones.

But before they used to call the land of Gilead the land of Rephaim; because this was the land of Rephaim, and the Rephaim were born there. They were Giants which had ten, nine, eight down to seven cubits in height.

And the Giants Rephaim inhabited from the land of the sons of Ammon to Mount Hermon, and the seats of their kingdoms were Karnaim, Ashtaroth, Edrei, Misur and Beon.

And the Lord destroyed them because of the wickedness of their works; because they were very wicked, and the Amorites dwelt in their place, wicked and sinful, and there are currently no people who reach the totality of their sins, and they have no more time of life upon the earth.

And Jacob sent Laban away, and he returned to Mesopotamia, the land of the East, and Jacob returned to the land of Gilead.

And he crossed the Jabbok in the ninth month on the eleventh day. And on that day Esau, his brother, came to him and he was reconciled with him, and departed from him to the land of Seir, but Jacob remained dwelling in tents.

And in the first year of the fifth week of this jubilee, he crossed the Jordan and dwelt beyond the Jordan, and he pastured his sheep from the Salt Sea to Beth Shean, and from Dothan to the forest of Akrabbim.

And he sent to his father Isaac of all his supply: clothes, food, meat, drink, milk, butter, cheese, and some palm trees of the valley.

And also to his mother Rebekah four times a year, between the seasons of the months, between plowing and harvest, and between autumn and rain, and between winter and spring, to the tower of Abraham.

For Isaac had returned from the Well of the Oath and gone up to the tower of his father Abraham, and he dwelt there away from his son Esau.

For in the days when Jacob went to Mesopotamia, Esau took for himself a wife called Mahalath, the daughter of Ishmael, and he gathered all the flocks of his father and his wives and went up and dwelt on Mount Seir, and left Isaac, his father, alone at the Well of the Oath.

And Isaac went up from the Well of the Oath and dwelt in the tower of Abraham his father in the mountains of Hebron.

And from there Jacob sent everything he sent to his father and his mother from time to time, everything they needed, and they blessed Jacob with all their heart and all their soul.
