Book of Jubilees 48:1–19

¹ And in the sixth year of the third week of the forty-ninth jubilee thou didst depart and dwell <in [2372 A.M.] the land of Midian>, five weeks and one year.

(JUB) ² And thou thyself knowest what He spake unto thee on [2410 A.M.] Mount Sinai, and what prince Mast&ecirc;m&acirc; desired to do with thee when thou wast returning into Egypt <on the way when thou didst meet him at the lodging-place>.
