Synopsis

Sefer Ha-Yashar, also known as The Book of Jasher, is a Hebrew text that presents a historical account of events from the creation of the world to the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites. The book is attributed to the biblical figure Jasher, who is mentioned in the Old Testament in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. However, the authorship is uncertain, and it is believed that the book was composed in the medieval period.The Book of Jasher is divided into 91 chapters and covers a wide range of topics, including the lives of the patriarchs, the exodus from Egypt, and the reigns of the judges and kings of Israel. The book also includes stories that are not found in the Bible, such as the account of the fallen angels and their offspring, the Nephilim.The Sefer Ha-Yashar has been highly regarded by some Jewish communities throughout history and has been translated into various languages. This edition, translated by M. M. Noah, includes a preface that provides historical context and discusses the importance of the book in Jewish tradition. Overall, The Book of Jasher is a fascinating read for those interested in biblical history and Jewish tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
