Statement
Examples: 1 Enoch and other works attributed to Enoch, of whom Genesis says he 'walked with God', recount what he supposedly witnessed and was taught in heaven, among it the mysteries of nature and the future, and seem to have first appeared in the third and second centuries BCE. Jubilees, written in the mid-second century BCE, tells of an alternative revelation to Moses at Sinai by an angel and follows a 364-day solar calendar, unlike the lunar basis of the Jewish calendar.
