Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and the patriarchs knew to sacrifice somehow? How could
one say they did not keep the Law yet this is a clear indication they knew far more
than these scholars assume? How can we say they did not know what they were
doing yet they were older and smarter than we?
Shavuot: Sivan 15: Day of Covenant Renewal since Creation
In Jubilees, Shavuot is the Day of Covenant Renewal not just for Israel though.
Israel was repeating an ancient cycle since Creation, in the days of Noah and
Abraham and all on this same day which the Pharisees have also changed and are
exposed. Why would this be an issue for those who read the Torah which never
claims the origin of this day to be Mt. Sinai? Jubilees clarifies this in enhanced
resolution and restores the significance of this event. This will enlighten.
Jubilees 5:32-6:2
And on the twenty-seventh thereof he opened the ark, and sent forth from it beasts, and
cattle, and birds, and every moving thing. And on the new moon of the third month he
went forth from the ark, and built an altar on that mountain. And he made atonement
for the earth, and took a kid and made atonement by its blood for all the guilt of the
earth; for everything that had been on it had been destroyed, save those that were in
the ark with Noah.
Jubilees 6:10-12
And Noah and his sons swore that they would not eat any blood that was in any flesh,
and he made a covenant before the Lord God for ever throughout all the generations of
the earth in this month.
On this account He spake to thee (Moses) that thou shouldst make a covenant with
the children of Israel in this month upon the mountain with an oath, and that thou
shouldst sprinkle blood upon them because of all the words of the covenant, which the
Lord made with them for ever. And this testimony is written concerning you that you
should observe it continually…
Jubilees 6:16-19
He set His bow in the cloud for a sign of the eternal covenant that there should not
again be a flood on the earth to destroy it all the days of the earth. For this reason
it is ordained and written on the heavenly tables, that they should celebrate the feast
of weeks in this month once a year, to renew the covenant every year. And this whole
festival was celebrated in heaven from the day of creation till the days of Noahtwenty-six jubilees and five weeks of years: and Noah and his sons observed it for
seven jubilees and one week of years, till the day of Noah’s death, and from the day
of Noah’s death his sons did away with (it) until the days of Abraham, and they ate
blood. But Abraham observed it, and Isaac and Jacob and his children observed it up
