Book of Jubilees 19:9

And he said not a single word regarding the rumour in the land how that God had said that He would give it to him and to his seed after him, and he begged a place there to bury his dead; for he was found faithful, and was recorded on the heavenly tablets as the friend of God.

Background and history of Book of Jubilees, and issues with this book.

R. H. Charles, The Book of Jubilees, in The Apocrypha and Pseudepigrapha of the Old Testament, vol. 2 (Oxford: Clarendon Press, 1913). Public domain in the United States (published 1913). Charles died in 1931, so the book is in the public domain in the United Kingdom. The verse text is the Joshua Williams transcription at pseudepigrapha.com. Jubilees 1:8 and 1:9 are divided at the break in the 1902 Clarendon scan (archive.org bookofjubileesor00char), where verse 9 begins “For they will forget.” That scan also numbers the angel-of-the-presence sentence as 1:29. Editorial brackets in the translation are Charles’s.
