Synopsis

One of the non-canonical books referenced in the Bible, The Book of Jasher spans the Bible books of Genesis through Joshua. For many, this ancient manuscript fills in blanks left by some biblical accounts – including the stories of Adam and Eve, Noah, and the Tower of Babel. The Book of Jasher provides readers with interesting, important, and perhaps otherwise ignored insights into the first 2,000 years of biblical history.

About this title

From the Back Cover

Believed by some to have been the original beginning of the Old Testament, The Book of Jasher has been suppressed and rediscovered numerous times since its initial translation from the Hebrew in AD 800. Referred to in Joshua and Second Samuel, this apocryphal book of the Bible expands upon some of the stories we know so well: we meet Cain and Abel's three sisters, are privy to a more detailed account of the awful circumstances of the Great Flood and Noah's conduct toward the multitudes who assembled before his ark, and learn more about the women of the Bible. Jasher's version of the story of Abraham is considered by many to be the most beautiful as this new perspective on the Old Testament will inspire believers and intrigue readers of ancient literature.
