The book of Jasher is one of ancient history books that are Mentioned and Recommended reading by the Bible.
If we believe the text itself, this Ancient book was written over 3,400 years ago.
It is approximately the same age as the biblical book of Genesis (1450BC) . It covers about the same time period as Torah (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Deuteronomy and Psalms ) but has about Double as much information in it than Genesis. It answers a Majority of questions raised in Bible.
Is the book of jasher we know now is it real?
yes! There are many proofs.SEE BELOW
How can we know that is it forgery from middle ages?
There have been around two forgeries. One of that is an ethical treatise from the Middle Ages (around 13th Century) and does not exist in English currently. It is somewhat Fake in style beginning with a section on the Fictional mystery of creation.
Another [second] forgery was published in AD 1829, supposedly translated by Flaccus Albinus Alcuinus Written in 1700s . These two are nowhere near the Rank of this Original book of Jasher and both the Forged Text are missing the details Scripture Records and tells us is in the real book of Jasher. This is the only Jasher that Contains or corresponds to what Scripture says it contains.
Many of the additional information contained in Original Jasher can also be found in the Babylonian Talmud (800AD), the Mishna(200AD), and Ginzberg’s Legends of the Jews(?). There are numerous quotes showing Ancient Rabbi Eliazar (90AD) used this book of Jasher in the first century AD.
The Earliest treasurise Mishna was completed about AD 200, and Later after 5 Centuries the Talmud about AD 800. We can
know for a fact that the Both of the Books used this Original book of Jasher as a only Ancient
source document and not the other way around. Even, since the Ancient Seder
Olam was written in about AD 169 and Repeatedly references Jasher, we know the book of
Jasher was used by Many other historians in the Mid second century AD.
Proofs
[Joshua in his Alleged Book] records the event where During the War God caused the sun to stand still in the Late evening around 1500BC until Joshua
and his men [Israelites] finished defeating the Amorites. This was such an incredible and Amazing event the author of the book of Joshua explains it must be true because it is also recorded in the Book of Jasher.
This Reminds us two things. First, the Ancient Hebrew book of Jasher is older than the book of Joshua; and second, Scripture
recommends we read this particular history book.
“Then Joshua had spoken to the LORD in the day when the LORD delivered up the Amorites before the Israelites, and He [Joshua] said (or replied) in the sight of Israel, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon; and thou, Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. And the sun stood still, and the moon stayed, until the people had avenged themselves
upon their enemies. Isn't this Event written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was not a Single day like that before it or after it,
that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD f
upon their enemies. Isn't this Event written in the book of Jasher? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and hasted not to go down about a whole day. And there was not a Single day like that before it or after it,
that the LORD hearkened unto the voice of a man: for the LORD fought for Israel.”Refferenced in Joshua 10:12-14
Book of Jasher’s record states this:
" Joshua said in the sight of
all the people, Sun, stand thou still upon Gibeon, and thou moon in the valley of Ajalon, until the nation shall have revenged itself upon its
enemies… And the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens, and it stood still six and thirty moments, and the moon also stood still and hastened not to go down a whole day. And there was no day like that before it or after it, that the Lord hearkened to the voice of man, for the Lord fought for Israel.” Based on Jasher 88.63-64
The reference of Book Jasher in the Book Second Samuel occurs where David is lamenting
over the death of King Saul. The Bible says:
“And David lamented with this
lamentation over Saul and over
Jonathan his son: (Also he bade
them teach the children of Judah the use of the bow: behold, it is written in the book of Jasher.)” 2 Samuel
1:17-18
This passage refers to the time when Jacob lay dying and called his sons together to prophesy over them. This event is recorded in Genesis 49 but this specific command of Jacob to Judah is not recorded in Scripture but in the Original Book of Jasher as we are told in this Below passage.
“…only teach thy sons the use of the bow and all weapons of war, in order that they may fight the battles of their brother who will rule over his enemies.”Based on Jasher 56:9
Paul in his Epistle to timothy names the two magicians who withstood (or was against) Moses: Jannes and Jambres Son's of Balaam.
This event is recorded in Book Exodus 7:8-13; but the names of these magicians are never
Shown in the Old Testament. Paul Came to know their names and other details Concerning them from other Ancient Hebrew sources. One of these is the Original Book of Jasher.
“Now as Jannes and Jambres Withstood Moses, so do those additionally resist the reality: men of corrupt minds, reprobate regarding the faith. But they shall continue no in addition: for their folly will be appear unto all men, as their’s Additionally became..” Based on 2 Timothy 3:8-9
“And after they had long past Pharaoh despatched for Balaam the magician and to his sons Jannes and Jambres , and to All the magicians and conjurors and counsellors which belonged to the king, and all of them got here and sat earlier than the king… And Aaron hastened and threw the rod out of his hand before king Pharaoh and earlier than his servants, and the rod turned into a serpent”Based on Jasher 79:27,36
Why the Book of Jasher isn’t in the Bible?
The Book of Jasher was rejected by all denominations because They do not want to add or remove anything from bible so they deem it as pseudepigrapha written in middle ages. Many of them teach that it is compiled from midrash source. BUt i can say it is not,Because There is a event is recorded in Exodus 7:8-13; about 2 magician sons of Balaam Jannes and Jambres.
but these two names of the the Sons of the m magician balaam was never given in our present 66 Old Testament. Paul learnt the details about them from other sources. One of
these is the only Ancient Book of Jasher. It is not even recorded in talmud
so It is an accurate history book. and it is recommended reading by scripture.
Who was Jasher?
The phrase Jasher isn't always a right name, however a Hebrew phrase that means “upright.” Many thru the centuries have noted this e book because the “ book of the Upright or Correct record.”
The history behind the Book of Jasher
According to Ancient rabbinic legend, the book Jasher and Many other ancient biblical Hebrew texts were brought From Jerusalem to Spain after the Destruction of Jerusalem in AD 70. The officers of Titus, Named Sidrus , who was a believer in the God of the Hebrews [Yahweh or Jevohah]. made sure thatthese sacred texts made it out of Jerusalem and into the city of Sevilia in Spanish for keeping Safe. The Sect Sephardicrabbinate kept the texts safe. In the yr 1613, the primary legitimate published Hebrew reproduction of the book of Jasher become posted in Venice, Italy. The primary translation from the Hebrew version of Jasher into English was finished in ad 1840.
Has the text been corrupted over the centuries?
The ancient scrolls (Scrolls that was brought from Jerusalem) of this book were in poor condition when the book was printed in Hebrew in 1613.
The text does show signs of a few corruption. There are apparent scribal errors – and more than possibly Many errors in textual content. – added to the original text like Jasher states Jared died in the as “366th year of the life of Noah” (instead of the “336th year”, as in Book Genesis) and that Jasher states Lamech died in the “195th year of the life of Noah (instead of the Genesis state 595th year). It also shows different lifespans for Lamech (770 instead of 777) and also Methuselah (960 instead of 969).. We must remember this scroll is over 3,500 years old.(may be like 1400BC) and was in Poor Condition.
According printer Yosèf ben Samuel the work was copied by a scribe named Jacob the son of Atyah, from an ancient manuscript whose letters could hardly be made out.So there are many Mistakes in text.
Query about Contradictions?
The book of Jasher sheds loads of mild on many passages in Scripture, however there are a few Matters in the book which are questionable.
Snow before the Flood?
Many teach that rain did not occur prior to Noah’s Flood, According on
passages like Genesis 2:5-6 and 7:4. There was only a mist that watered the vegetation. Obviously Rain first appeared when Noah’s Flood actually occurred.
This can or cannot have been normal in every part of the earth. While Looking carefully at the passage, you see the snow
was near the top of the mountain Enoch ascended before being raptured. Despite the fact that there has been simplest a mist and no rain within the pre-flood world, water vapor becoming cold on the tops of mountains could crystallize to shape ice or snow.
Rule over spirits?
One passage states Cainan ruled over spirits and demons. This isn't sorcery. The text surely approach Cainan, like other Godly Christians, have power over all the strength of the Enemy.
Did it take a hundred and twenty years or 5 years to clearly build the ark?
The Bible teaches Noah preached repentance for one hundred twenty years and constructed the Ark. It
In no way simply says it took one hundred twenty years to construct the ark, but 120 years for the whole system. Jasher tells us Noah preached for one hundred twenty years. 5 years earlier than the end of the one hundred twenty Years, Jasher says God instructed Noah to eventually begin the construction of the Ark.
A wolf speaks?
The Lord triggered a wolf to talk to Jacob in book Jasher 43.44-46 six. Another animal Talking is recorded in Scripture when a donkey spoke to Balaam as recorded in Numbers 22:28-30.
Abraham settles in Canaan on the age of 75
Genesis 12:4 states that Abram turned into seventy five while he departed Haran and came into the land of Canaan. Jasher _13;5 says that Abram went to the land of Canaan at the age of fifty. In the beginning,
This seems like a contradiction; but, Jasher keeps to say Abram traveled again to Harran. Then, later, at the age of seventy five, Abraham certainly settled in the land of Canaan.
Even Scripture facts that once age seventy five Abraham moved to Egypt for a time because of a famine; then later he moved again. So this records is no contradiction, Just truely new facts.
God or an angel prophesies to Abram?
Book Jasher 18;9 states that one of the angels instructed Abraham that Sarah could have a son; but Gen. 17.16 says that God told Abraham. Additionally Genesis 18 keeps the tale wherein the three Angels come to Abraham. When one in every of them talks to Abraham, the Scripture says “the Lord said that this is concept to be a pre- incarnate appearance of Jesus Christ.
The word “angel” in Hebrew can truly mean messenger.
Jacob in Padan-aram or Laban’s residence?
Genesis 28"5 states Isaac despatched Jacob to Padan-aram unto the vicinity Laban. Jasher 29:11 says that Jacob fled to the house of Eber and concealed there for 14 years. For the reason that Scriptures do not provide dates for these occasions, it's miles pretty viable Jacob went to Eber
Earlier than touring to Laban and the Genesis simply facts the extra vital occasion.
Pharaoh’s demand before or after seeing Moses?
Pharaoh proclaims no greater straw can be given to the Hebrews however the equal quantity of Bricks ought to be produced earlier than Moses is going to confront Pharaoh in Jasher 78:12-13.
Exodus f5:1,7-eight information this incident occurs after Moses confronts Pharaoh. I might wager in this Jasher has the information backwards.
Necromancy practiced?
In book Jasher 42,30-41, Rachel Spoke to Joseph from the grave in Bethlehem. This gave the look of necromancy Which is an abomination unto the Lord in line with Deuteronomy 18:11-12. While this Befell, Joseph was surprised. This identical type of occasion passed off whilst the spirit of the prophet Samuel came back and prophesied to Saul in I Samuel 28. Something you consider Came about in 2 Samuel 28, seemingly befell again in Jasher forty two.
Divination practiced?
According to Jasher 53:18-22 Benjamin used a “map of stars” and Joseph’s divining Cup to find Joseph. Deuteronomy 18:10 forbids divination. The Gospel inside the Stars by Joseph A. Seiss offers a detailed clarification of the technology of the Magi and their use of stars to find the messiah. That is definitely special than Astrology or any kind of divination. Likewise, the use of the Urim and Thummim by way of the Monks is commanded through God and is not divination.
Plague of flies or animals?
In Exodus 8,:24 flies are mentioned because the plague God sends; but in Jasher eighty it's miles a virulent disease Of animals. Jasher describes it as an epidemic of animals; however the Egyptians locked
Themselves indoors, faraway from maximum of the animals. At this point handiest gnats and flies may want to get into their homes. So the plague have become known as the plague of flies.
Moses leaves Egypt at 18 or 40?
Chapter 71 of book Jasher states that Moses become 18 years antique While he left Egypt. (Can this be rabbinical tradition?) He didn’t go to Midian, but to Cush and becomes king (seventy two:34-36) and remains king over Cush for forty years (seventy three:2). Then He went to Midian where Reuel put him in jail for ten years due to the fact Reuel thinks Moses Is wanted by the Cushites. In Acts 7:23-30, Stephen, inspired through the Holy Spirit, Stated that Moses was in Egypt for forty years before going to Midian for every other 40 years.
Jasher and Josephus are both wrong on this facts, or the most effective way both might be genuine might be this:
Jasher and Josephus describe Moses killing the Egyptian at 18, then fleeing lower Egypt and taking manipulate of Cushite country in Ethiopia, which was underneath the control of Decrease Egypt. Years later, Moses rebels in opposition to Egypt and the Cushite Empire goes unbiased.
Then Moses leaves and goes to Midian, and on the age of eighty returns to lead the Egyptian Exodus.
The rise up within the center of his reign in Ethiopia would allow Stephen, in Acts 7:23-30, to be absolutely accurate in announcing Moses spent 40 years with Egypt And forty years away from Egypt and at the identical time
Jasher and Josephus correct in that he spent 18 years with decrease Egypt, 49 years in Ethiopia, 12 years in Midian, then at eighty years vintage, he led the Egyptian Exodus!
A 210-year or 430-12 months enslavement? Jasher 81:3-four states the Israelites sojourned in Egypt for handiest 210 years. Exodus 12:40-41 says they sojourned 430 years. Galatians |3,16-18 explains this distinction. The 430- 12 months countdown started while God Gave the prophecy to Abraham whilst he changed into seventy five years old. So the 430 years is from Abraham to the Exodus. The use of the chronology of Genesis, this most effective leaves about 210 year.General time inside the land of Egypt.
Pharaoh perished within the crimson Sea or lands in Nineveh?
book Jasher eighty one:40-41 tells that every one however handiest Pharaoh perished in the crimson Sea. Pharaoh thanks the Lord and the Lord sends an angel who casts him upon the land at Nineveh wherein Pharaoh reigned for a long time. Exodus 14:23 says Pharaoh’s military perished. It does now not genuinely nation Pharoah perished with them. This story may be true or genuinely an Embellishment.
Magic clothes?
Jasher 7:24-30 says the skins that God had made for Adam and his spouse after they Sinned in garden Eden went to Enoch seventh from Adam after their death, then to his son Methuselah then to Noah, then Ham stole them and gave them to his Son Cush. They have been then surpassed to Nimrod who became strong while he placed on the “magic” clothes. This could just be a legend, however the Bible statistics a curious occasion in the life of Jacob. In Genesis 30:32-forty two Jacob used certain tree wooden to make animals reproduce. Just as Jacob knew sure things could appeal to healthier animals, this coat could have been Something that repelled sure types of animals.
Birds that eat snakes?
Jasher 73 facts that King Moses of Cush raised storks to devour serpents that guarded The Cushite town. This occasion is also recorded in Josephus Antiquities 2:10. It can thoroughly be a true story.
Red Sea parted once or 12 times?
Jasher 81:38 says the water was divided into twelve parts at the Red Sea crossing. The way the Hebrew is worded it can mean 12 parts. It could also be an idiom n meaning all 12 tribes passed thought the water at once, not one after another.or it may be an error as the ancient scrolls were corrupted.
Terrible animals?
Jasher 36:30-35 records that 120 terrible animals from the wilderness attacked the donkeys of Anan. Their shape looked like the children of man Came from the middle downward, and Came from their middle upward, also some had the likeness of bears, or keephas with tails behind them from between their shoulders reaching down to earth. Again these could be some form of reptile that attacked the horses by leaping on them like a lion would.
A half man, half reptile creature?
Jasher 61:15 writes that Zepho killed a half man / half beast - animal. “From the middle upward and it looked like (or ressembled) a man, and also from the middle downward it looked like (or resembled) an
animal.” This could possibly a large reptile or small dinosaur that walked upright like a man.
Other odd things
In book Jasher 8 a special star marked the birth of Abraham. In book Jasher 44:62-68 an eleven-month-old baby speaks.
These things may seem odd, but if you really think about them, they do not contradict anything in the 66-80 books of Bible. As you know, the prophets did some very odd things at the instruction of the Lord. There are Many of the miracles the Lord preformed were very unusual, for example, Balaam’s donkey speaking.
Other Importance
1. It Gives a Great Detail About Tower of Babel story about wickedness of people than Book of Genesis.
2. It Gives details of Wickedness of Gomorrah,Sodom that were there in ancient times which are not Recorded in Bible It Gives Great detail about slavery of Joseph.
3. It Gives us Accurate DATINGS of Events occured till AM 2516
4. It Gives Information till Judge and with More Details
Relationship with talmud,Mishna,midrash
These are the Jewish treasuries written around 200-800AD, These Books used Book of Jasher, so Everyone though that this book was copy of Midrash so this Book of Jasher was Rejected by Everyone, But Jasher contains some Events which these Books do not mention. There are other Copies of Book of Jasher that are withheld from Public because Talmud, midrash and Mishna was written Around 200-800AD which indicates there are other copy. Even these books needed some Source to Write their Books.Paul even quoted Book of Jasher.
Difference of Information in Book of Jubliees
4:31 Cain was killed when his house fell
on him. Jasher 2:26-36 states Cain was
killed in a hunting accident.
#Abraham burned his father’s idols. Jasher
states he destroyed them with an axe
38:2 Jacob killed Esau with an arrow.
Jasher has Esau beheaded by Chushim,
the son of Dan.(But it’s parallel to testament of Patriarch)
Forged version of Book of Jasher(Pseudo Jasher)
The book of Pseudo Jasher is a 18th century forgery by Jacob live who claim to have Gone Persia and Found an English translation of the book. It was later published by alcuin who found that it is important it is no doubt a False writing.According book Pseudo Jasher Jasher is a Man son of Caleb, but Biblical Jasher is upright , which book we have today.
Cause for Errors
The ancient scrolls were badly Corrupted so there are mistakes while rewriting the Ancient manuscript like Jasher states Jared died in the as “366th year of the life of Noah” (instead of the “336th year”, as written in Genesis) and that Jasher states Lamech died in the “195th year of the life of Noah (instead of the 595th year in Genesis). It also gives different lifespans for Lamech (770 instead of 777 in Genesis) and Noah's son Methuselah (960 instead of 969)..
An example is Lamech died in five hundred and ninety fifth year of Noah, this book states
Conclusion
There is nothing in Jasher that directly contradicts Scripture. This book sheds light on many biblical passages and is highly recommended by Scripture itself. On the other hand,
one would expect 3,500 year-old document to contain scribal errors and some fanciful stories added to the text remember the ancient scroll were in pr condition while printed in 1625
WRONG INFORMATION
There was many pages saying book of jasher means books of bible Some site says book of jasher is nothing but Inspired books of bible
excerpt ………………………………………………………………………………………………………… They states,
Habakkuk 3-11 The sun and moon stood still in their habitation: at the light of thine arrows [and] they went, and at the shining of thy glittering spear.
Habakkuk was a prophet and therefore one who was upright. He is THE Jasher, the upright one referenced in Joshua………………
My Opinion
but habakkuk was written around 7 centuries after book of joshua was written and this Event is Completely different.and for the quote of 2 samuel it is saying that book of jasher means the same book. How? THink yourself they act as if they are stupid enough.
Liberal Scholarship and People who Reject this Book.
These are the Same people who Reject Book of Enoch and Daniel as Creation of Maccabean Period. They Say that Book of Jasher is the Compliation of Midrash (treasuries) Written in 13th Century AD, Because it Contained Medieval name and Written in Rabbaic Hebrew.
I can Clearly Answer you that this Book is True,
1]Where did Mishna get information about it? It was Written around 200 AD and Where did they Get these ancient Information?The Fact is Midrash like Talmud and Mishna Used Book of Jasher as source, Even Seder olam written in 169 AD used this Book.
2]The Book was Preserved by Sephardicrabbinate after Destruction. They are a Sect/type of Rabbi, When they Copied the Ancient Scrolls (3500 Years old) , it was in Poor Condition and there were Text was Corrupted, they Copied the Text in Rabbaic Hebrew (as they were Rabbis) and they Edited the Ancient Names to Medieval Names. Example is Chittim was name of Country Rome before. Printer Yosef stated that the Manuscript was so poor it was too difficult to Copy.
