If, as has been argued, the times of the Jubilee and Sabbatical cycles were known all the time that Israel was in its land, and, further, that the only adequate explanation that has yet been given for Ezekiel’s Jubilee being the seventeenth Jubilee is that the counting for these cycles actually started 832 years earlier, in 1406 BC, then it ...

His father Mahalalel, great-grandson of Seth, son of Adam, was 65 years old when Jared was born. [3] In the apocryphal Book of Jubilees, his mother's name is Dinah..
