JUBILEES 1

27. And He said to the angel of the presence: 6 "Write 7 for Moses from the beginning of creation till My sanctuary has been built among them for all eternity. 28. 8 And the Lord will appear to the eyes of all, 1 and all will know that I am the God of Israel and the Father of all the children of Jacob, 2 and King on Mount Zion 3 for all eternity. And Zion and Jerusalem will be holy." 29. And the angel of the presence who went before the camp of Israel 4 took the tables of the divisions of the years 5 --from the time of the creation--of the law and of the testimony of the weeks, of the jubilees, according to the individual years, according to all the number of the jubilees [according to the individual years], from the day of the [new] creation †when† the heavens 6 and the earth shall be renewed and all their creation according to the powers of the heaven, and according to all the creation of the earth, until the sanctuary of the Lord shall be made in Jerusalem 7 on Mount Zion, and all the luminaries be renewed for healing 8 and for peace and for blessing for all the elect of Israel, and that thus it may be from that day and unto all the days of the earth.

Double brackets mark words Charles restored by conjecture and a dagger marks a reading he judged corrupt. Verse numbers follow the marginal numbering of that printing and sometimes fall mid-sentence. The text was digitised by optical character recognition, so scattered typographic artifacts survive.
