Jubilees 16
16 And we returned in the seventh month, and found Sarah with child before
us] and we blessed him, and we announced to him all the things which had been
decreed concerning him, that he should not die till he should beget six sons
more, and should see them before he died; but that in Yitschaq should his name
and seed be called:
17 And that all the seed of his sons should be Gentiles, and be reckoned with
the Gentiles; but from the sons of Yitschaq one should become a kodesh seed,
and should not be reckoned among the Gentiles.
18 For he should become the portion of the Most High, and all his seed had
fallen into the possession of YAHWEH, that it should be unto YAHWEH a people
for His possession above all nations and that it should become a kingdom and
priests and a kodesh nation.
19 And we went our way, and we announced to Sarah all that we had told
him, and they both rejoiced with exceeding great joy.
20 And he built there an altar to YAHWEH who had delivered him, and who
was making him rejoice in the land of his sojourning, and he celebrated a festival
of joy in this month seven days, near the altar which he had built at the “Well of
the Oath”.
21 And he built booths for himself and for his servants on this festival, and he
was the first to celebrate the feast of tabernacles on the earth.
22 And during these seven days he brought each day to the altar a burnt
offering to YAHWEH, two oxen, two rams, seven sheep, one he-goat, for a sin
offering, that he might atone thereby for himself and for his seed.
23 And, as a thank-offering, seven rams, seven kids, seven sheep, and seven
he-goats, and their fruit offerings and their drink offerings; and he burnt all the
fat thereof on the altar, a chosen offering unto YAHWEH for a sweet smelling savor.
24 And morning and evening he burnt fragrant substances, frankincense and
galbanum, and stackte, and nard, and myrrh, and spice, and costum; all these
seven he offered, crushed, mixed together in equal parts (and) pure.
25 And he celebrated this feast during seven days, rejoicing with all his heart
and with all his soul, he and all those who were in his house, and there was no
stranger with him, nor any that was uncircumcised.
26 And he blessed his Creator who had created him in his generation, for He
had created him according to His good pleasure; for He knew and perceived that
from him would arise the plant of righteousness for the eternal generations, and
from him a kodesh seed, so that it should become like Him who had made all
things.
Who might this be talking about?
27 And he blessed and rejoiced, and he called the name of this festival “The
Festival of YAHWEH”, a joy acceptable to the Most High YAHWEH.
28 And we blessed him forever, and all his seed after him throughout all the
generations of the earth, because he celebrated this festival in its season,
according to the testimony of the heavenly tablets.
29 For this reason it is ordained on the heavenly tablets concerning Yisrael,
that they shall celebrate the feast of tabernacles seven days with joy, in the
seventh month, acceptable before YAHWEH -a statute forever throughout their
generations every year.
It seems that Sukkot was ordained in heaven from the beginning. In the beginning was the word.
30 And to this there is no limit of days; for it is ordained forever regarding
Yisrael that they should celebrate it and dwell in booths, and set wreaths upon
their heads, and take leafy boughs, and willows from the brook.
31 And Abraham took branches of palm trees, and the fruit of goodly trees,
and every day going round the altar with the branches seven times [a day] in the
morning, he praised and gave thanks to YAHWEH his Sovereign Ruler for all
things in joy.
This gives us some insight as to how the lulav and the etrog should be employed.
