The antediluvian record is not handed down · it is FOUND, by a lone discoverer, in a sealed or forbidden place, and transcribed in secrecy. And in both, what is recovered is the same content-class: the doctrine that the heavens correspond to things below (Watcher astral omens / as-above-so-below). Jubilees adds the darker beat: the recovery itself is a sin, concealed from the flood-survivor. Raw material for the Cut and the Misfiled.

set against Jubilees 8:1-4
