Bible Generations

Note: In jubilees is spoken about weeks (7 years) and Jubilees (7*7= 49 years), so 1 jubilee is 49 years and 1 week is 7 years, ( AM = After Creation)

In the Bible we can only find that Enoch was the son of Cain and some info about Lamech "the blind".

And he found a writing which former (generations) had carved on the rock, and he read what was thereon, and he transcribed it and sinned owing to it; for it contained the teaching of the Watchers in accordance with which they used to observe the omens of the sun and moon and stars in all the signs of heaven. And he wrote it down and said nothing regarding it; for he was afraid to speak to Noah about it lest he should be angry with him on account of it. And in the thirtieth jubilee, in the second week, in the first year thereof (1429 AM), he took to himself a wife, and her name was Melka, the daughter of Madai, the son of Japheth, and in the fourth year (1432 AM) he begat a son, and called his name Shelah; for he said: 'Truly I have been sent.'

)1 In the book of Jasher Esau is murdered by a son of Dan but in the book of Jubilees Eseu is murdered by his brother Jacob. The Bible do not mention the dead of Esau.

The Revised Timeline match exactly with the story, in years and lifetime, mentioned in the book of Jasher when we insert Cainam, who is only mentioned in Jubilees 8. In the conventional "Biblical timeline" of Archbishop James Ussher there is a decreased difference of 60 years. (in fact 50 years because he used two times 1 year when calculating the year in which Terah and Serug died). With other words "the fifteenth years = not +15 but +14 years and "the thirty-fifth year" = not 35 but 34 years.

The Children of Jacob "Twelve Patriarchs"

The dates of birth and dead can be calculated because we know that Jacob lived for 17 years in Egypt before he died The Biblical timeline is than (1749+17= 1766) and the revised timeline (1691+17=1708), a difference of 58 years (60-1-1)

Jasher 81-4 And at the end of two hundred and ten years, the Lord brought forth the children of Israel from Egypt with a strong hand.(1708-210=1498 BC.
