This article studies the techniques used in Jubilees 23. It indicates how Psalm 90:10 was used to link the death of Abraham to a declining-inclining scheme of longevity. This scheme was then combined with a heptadic jubilee scheme. To this the author added a Deuteronomistic retributive scheme of sinpunishment- repentance-salvation. On this combination an apocalyptic framework was finally superimposed.132828 bytesapplication/pdfenReformed Theological College, Faculty of Theology, University of PretoriaIntertextuality in the BibleBook of Jubilees -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.Bible -- O.T. -- Psalms XC, 10 -- Criticism, interpretation, etc.Article
