Which is Older, Jubilees or the Genesis Apocryphon ? An Exegetical Approach
The question posed in my title has been the subject of much speculation, most recently in two extended comparisons of the world map as reflected in the two texts. In the present study, I wish to approach the question of priority from a somewhat different angle, a comparison of the exegetical motifs found in parallel sections of Jubilees and the Apocryphon, in the hope that this may shed further light on their relative dating.
