The Book of Jasher is mentioned in both the Book of Second Samuel and the Book of Joshua in the Holy Bible. Some scholars have claimed that this book you are about to read is the actual Book of Jasher but modern day rabbis do not accept this claim. It is left up to the reader and student to decide.
The earliest extant version of this Hebrew text was printed in Venice in 1625, and the introduction refers to an earlier 1552 edition in Naples, of which neither trace nor other mention has been found. The first English translation of this text was in 1840 by Moses Samuel of Liverpool (1795–1860). What you are about to read is the second English translation in 1887 by J.H. Parry & Company.
This book is not to be confused with Pseudo-Jasher printed by Jacob Ilive in 1751. It is not the same.
All roman numerals have been replaced with English numbers for ease of reading. All old biblical citation formats have been replaced with more modern formats, also for ease of reading.

This is my second time picturing the book of jasher. Purchase once for my husband, and the second time for my mother. I intend to purchase the third for myself soon. Both my husband and my mother absolutely love everything that they're reading and learning in these books. I love the availability of knowledge to further what we already have learned in the Holy Bible. If you're thinking about furthering your biblical knowledge, purchase these books. I promise they contain sound Doctrine. When purchasing biblical or non canonical biblical works, I know sometimes you wonder if any of the doctrine may be a little off or a little sketchy. But from what I'm hearing from my husband and my mother these works like the book of jasher only expand what you already know. There is nothing that leads astray from what we hear in the Bible already.Product details

The Book of Jasher edition by Jasher Black Dragon Publishing Religion Spirituality eBooks Reviews
The Book of Jasher, which is referenced in the cannonical Bible, stays very close to the stories we already have, but fills in small details that make for some interesting thoughts or discussion. For instance, the world in Noah's time was so bad that Noah decided not to have any children. God finally told him to get married and have sons because his family would repopulate the world. I enjoyed reading this book.
The Book of Jasher is 99 cents (this particular copy, anyway), so I highly recommend that serious students of Scripture read it. I gave the book 4 stars not because it was factually inaccurate (on the contrary, the names, places, etc., are rather in step with the Bible), but because there are some accounts that are inconsistent with Scripture and can't be reconciled with it. One event that stands out to me in Jasher is when Joseph reveals himself to his brothers. Genesis says that his brothers didn't recognize him, which makes the reveal a major surprise, but Jasher says that Benjamin knew who he was in advance of Joseph's other brothers. How would Benjamin have known Joseph when he was just a baby when Joseph was sold into slavery? To think that Benjamin knew Joseph is to think that he knew some things about his deceased mother, Rachel, when he was too young to know her.
The second major mention that stands out in my mind from the Book of Jasher concerns Moses and his flight from Egypt. Jasher says that Moses went and reigned over the Cushites (Ethiopians) 40 years after fleeing Egypt, that he was about 27 years old when he left Egypt and was 66 when he went to Midian. And yet, this can't be right, if Acts 723 is correct. Acts 723 says that Moses was 40 years old when he slays the Egyptian and flees directly to Midian. There's no time to go reign over a pagan nation for 40 years in-between that. The other thing that makes me disagree with the Cushite rulership is that Jasher says that the entire 40 years Moses was ruling the Ethiopians, he did not serve their gods, nor did he marry their Queen. If he wouldn't do that against his God, why would he go serve a pagan nation against his God? It just doesn't make sense. What also doesn't line up is why Moses would gladly lead the Cushites in Jasher when Scripture notes Moses' hesitancy against leading Israel out of Egypt in Exodus. If Moses hesitated to lead Israel, his own people, why would he so boldly lead another people, the Cushites, who weren't even his direct kinsmen?
For a third example (for the curious, anyway), Moses gets to Midian and when he tells Reuel (Jethro) of his reign with the Cushites, is thrown in prison without bread and water by the priest (Reuel) for 10 years. Reuel has the so-called sapphire stick in his yard, the same stick that is claimed to have been used by Adam in the Garden of Eden (he took it when he left, Jasher says), that passed to The house of Joseph but was confiscated by Egyptian nobles. How does it end up in Reuel's yard? Why would he want to keep something that had been stolen from the house of Joseph? This stick that Moses uses as a staff is said to be special, according to Jasher. But why couldn't it just have been an ordinary staff that God used to make Moses do extraordinary wonders in Egypt? Methinks the Sapphire stick is "tabloidish." For Moses to keep a stolen stick instead of returning it to Manasseh and Ephraim (Joseph's offspring; Moses was a Levite, not of the house of Joseph) makes Moses a bit of a thief, too, as well as Reuel, the priest.
So, with that said, I give Jashar at least a 75% reliability rating. There is a 25% unreliability rating with Jasher, not because I've done any scientific number-crunching but because the two events above and some others are questionable and seem highly incredulous. Most of what Jasher says will fit with what Bible students and scholars have read from the pages of Scripture. It's those incredulous details such as the ones above that will stand out. And yet, Joshua's writer notes the book of Jasher when referring to the sun standing still. If the Bible references Jasher, it's worth a read.
I'm on a quest to read those other books the Bible references. The Book of Jasher has been a rewarding and exciting first step in my research journey.
If you search for Jasher in the bible, you will find 2 references to it one in the book of Joshua and one in 2nd Samuel. In the book of Jasher it also refers to the book of the law. Jasher covers the time span also recorded in Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. It is well known that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John cover the same time period. These gospels sometimes repeat each other, and sometimes a gospel has information not recorded in the other gospels. In the same way the book of the law contains information not found in Jasher, and Jasher contains information not found in the book of the law, though they often record the same events. Paul wrote All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness. (2 Tim 316) In that same passage Paul speaks of 2 men Now as Jannes and Jambres withstood Moses... (2 Tim 38) Who are Jannes and Jambres? You will not find their names in the KJV, nor in the KJV 1611 Apocrypha, nor in Enoch, nor in Jubilees. But you will find them in the book of Jasher. It is the word of the LORD.
If you love reading the Bible and the stories from the old testement, then please do yourself a favor and read more of the finer details. One thing I love about the dead sea scrolls is how they (Jasher is only 1 of 5 or 7 books in all) take a deeper look at the love and committment of all the historical characters in each one of our favorite Bible school stories. Abraham's wife Sarah was only very briefly mentioned in the Holy Bible in KJV as well as all the other versions, but in Jasher you sink into the emotions she must have endured while she embarks on her years of seeking and searching for Abraham and Isac in the rest of her story. The dead sea scrolls takes us deeper into the soul wrenching struggles of all the historical figures of God's Holy Word. My appreciation for God's Word has only been fueled by reading this book. Take a leap of faith and read them all.
This is my second time picturing the book of jasher. Purchase once for my husband, and the second time for my mother. I intend to purchase the third for myself soon. Both my husband and my mother absolutely love everything that they're reading and learning in these books. I love the availability of knowledge to further what we already have learned in the Holy Bible. If you're thinking about furthering your biblical knowledge, purchase these books.
