What Does Jubilees Say? • Jub. 7:16-18 - "And Shem dwelt with his father Noah, and he built a city close to his father on the mountain, and he too called its name after the name of his wife. And behold those three cities are near Mt. Lubar; fronting the mountain on its east; and on the south, and towards the west. • Jub. 10:13-17 - "And Noah WROTE down all things in a book...And he gave all that he had written to Shem, his eldest son; for he loved him exceedingly above all his sons. And Noah slept with his fathers and was buried on Mt. Lubar in the land of Ararat. Nine hundred and fifty years he completed his life...And in his life on earth he excelled the children of men save Enoch because of the righteousness wherein he was perfect. For Enoch's office was ordained for a testimony to the generations of the world, so that he should record all the deeds of generation to generation till the day of judgment. • ***

Continues To Say • Now when Noah had lived three hundred and fifty years after the Flood, and that all that time happily, he died, having lived the number of nine hundred and fifty years. • Confirms Our Biblical Account
