banks of the river, but now it
overflowed and the Egyptians
sowed the land, and it bore
much corn that year. 11 And
this was the first year of the
fourth week of the forty-fifth
jubilee. 12 And Joseph took
of the corn of the harvest the
fifth part for the king and left
four parts for them for food
and for seed, and Joseph made
it an ordinance for the land
of Egypt until this day. 13
And Israel lived in the land of
Egypt seventeen years, and all
the days which he lived were
three jubilees, one hundred
and forty-seven years, and he
died in the fourth year of the
fifth week of the forty-fifth
jubilee.
Israel settled in the region of Goshen
in the fertile crescent of the Nile River.

14 And Israel blessed his sons
before he died and told them
everything that would befall
them in the land of Egypt;
and he made known to them
what would come upon them
in the last days, and blessed
them and gave to Joseph two
portions in the land. 15 And
he slept with his fathers, and
he was buried in the double
cave in the land of Canaan,
near Abraham his father in
the grave which he dug for
himself in the double cave in
the land of Hebron. 16 And
he gave all his books and the
books of his fathers to Levi
his son that he might preserve
them and renew them for his
children until this day.

This is revealing as the Levites are the keepers of scripture
who were entrusted with what we would call the Bible today.
We found the library or Bible of these Levites in Qumran and
Jubilees was the #6 most found scroll there. The Pharisees
never truly replaced the Levites nor have such authority.
“So it was, when Moses had completed writing
the words of this law in a book, when they were
finished, that Moses commanded the Levites, who
bore the ark of the covenant of Yahuah, saying:
“Take this Book of the Law, and put it beside the
ark of the covenant of Yahuah your Elohim, that it
may be there as a witness against you”
Deuteronomy 31:24-26 KJV
