Jubilees 1:29
Pseudepigrapha
28 The Lord will appear in the sight of all, and all will know that I am the God of Israel, the father of all Jacob's children, and the king on Mt. Zion for the ages of eternity. Then Zion and Jerusalem will become holy.” 29 The angel of the presence, who was going along in front of the Israelite camp, took the tablets which told of the divisions of the years from the time the law and the testimony were created — for the weeks of their jubilees, year by year in their full number, and their jubilees from the time of the creation until the time of the new creation when the heavens, the earth, and all their creatures will be renewed like the powers of the sky and like all the creatures of the earth, until the time when the temple of the Lord will be created in Jerusalem on Mt. Zion. All the luminaries will be renewed for the purposes of healing, health, and blessing for all the elect ones of Israel and so that it may remain this way from that time throughout all the days of the earth.

They killed those who foretold long ago the coming of the Righteous One, whose betrayers and murderers you have now become! 53 You received the law by decrees given by angels, but you did not obey it.” 54 When they heard these things, they became furious and ground their teeth at him.

Notes and References
"... The Book of Jubilees provides very early evidence for Jewish thinking about how feasts should be celebrated or how laws were interpreted in at least some circles of early Judaism. Its authors also shared with some of the New Testament writers the view that the Torah was mediated through angels (Jubilees 1:27, compare Acts 7:53, Galatians 3:19, Hebrews 2:2) ..."
