Présentation de l'éditeur

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.

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Book of Jasher covers the Mosaic period of the Bible presented in Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua in greater detail and with explanations not found in the present Old Testament Documents. This apocryphal book of the Bible has been considered by some to be the original beginning to the Bible and is referenced in both the Book of Joshua and the Second Book of Samuel. Is not this written in the Book of Jasher?-Joshua, X. 13. Behold it is written in the Book of Jasher.-II. Samuel, I. 18
