Chris:
 
Do you want it in the original Old Hebrew script, transliterated into the 
Aramaic square script, or transliterated in the Latin alphabet?

The point is, that this - not the Tanach - is the source of satan 
being more than just an angel.  While looking it up, I found this, 
about the dating, and I merely related it to the list.



The text is on line here, this is only one of the sites I found.

http://www.exodus2006.com/jubilint.htm

The Book of Jubilees dates itself to the time of Moses and was 
possibly written by him. The purpose of the book seems to have been 
to add more detail to the outline of history that is provided by 
Genesis, giving names and dates not included in the Torah. This 
account also adds some details from the Book of Enoch and mentions 
the Watchers.
The other purpose of the book is to rationalise the Hebrew calendar, 
with Adam at year 1, and the details of ages of the patriarchs that 
are given in Genesis are reflected in the dates given for their 
births and deaths in this book.
Some of the extra names and stories in the book may have been 
included to encompass the folk-tales of the tribes who took part in 
the Exodus of Moses.
To convert the dates; 2000 AD = 5760 AM.

Dating

European scholars believe based on internal evidence that the Book of 
Jubilees was written in Hebrew between the year that Hyrcanus became 
high priest (135 BCE) and his breach with the Pharisees some years 
before his death in (105 BCE), and that the author was a Pharisee. 
Jubilees is the product of the midrash which had already been at work 
in the Old Testament Chronicles. As the Chronicler had rewritten the 
history of Israel and Judah from the point of view of the post-exilic 
Levites, so the author of Jubilees re-edited in turn, from the 
Pharisaic standpoint of his own time, the history of events from the 
Creation to the publication of the Law on Sinai.

and more

Shoshanna





Have you ever read the bok of Jubilees, or even an introduction to it? It is
basically a midrash agadah on the time from creation to the Exodus. It does
not attempt to bring events down to the author's own time (which is sometime
during the Second Temple period), and as such does not supply a "calendar"
which can be continued into the future. It was also probably unknown to the
authors of Seder Olam, and as such had no influence on our present system of
counting.
