Maybe you have it backwards. Genesis was clearly accepted as authoritative,
Enoch cannot be proved.

What makes you think that it goes Enoch -> Jubilees and not Jubilees ->
Enoch or possibly X ->J/X->E? Youi have no data to support any view. A
possible support of J -> E is that Jubilees is 'authoritative' in the DSS
community.
