title = "Jubilees 23: A Test Case for Jubilees{\textquoteright}s Use of Sources",
abstract = "The Book of Jubilees, a retelling of Genesis and the beginning of Exodus, belongs to the genre of Rewritten Scripture. I argue here that in recasting the biblical account, Jubilees{\textquoteright}s author draws not only on Scripture but on other, contemporary, literature. Using Jubilees 23 as a test case, I will show how the author incorporated both a Hellenistic-Jewish work and a work from Qumran in his treatment of the question of the decline in the human lifespan.",
