The Book of Jasher is also known as the Book of the Just Man or the Book of the Upright and it is one of the non-canonical books referenced in the Bible. It is mentioned in the Bible the following places in Joshua 10:13:
“And the Sun stood still, and the Moon stayed,until the people had avenged themselves on their enemies. Is this not written in the Book of the Upright.”
Parts of the Bible origins from The Book of Jasher
The Book of Jasher is also mentioned in Samuel 1:18 and also referenced in Timothy 3:8, therefore, it must have been an important work. We can not be sure if this book is the real Book of Jasher. If it is, it gives us many details that are not recorded in the Bible. However, the publisher claims that this is the real deal and he attempts to document how entire parts of the Bible might have been copied directly from the Book of Jasher. The publisher explains the complexity of the question of the origin of the work.
“I have in my possession a copy of Sefer Hayasher – The Book Of The Righteous, edited and translated by Seymour J. Cohen. Its introduction cites several other “Books of Jasher”, some of which are no longer known to be in existence, such as that by Zerahiah Ha-Yevani of the 13th century. There is also known to have been one written by Rabbi Jacob ben Mier of the 12th century, and one by Rabbi Jonah ben Abraham of Gerona of the 14th century. We are told of a work by that title from the Amoraim period (3rd to 6th centuries) that is characterized as containing “for the most part sayings of the sages of the first and second centuries”. So, this title has been a popular one for rabbinical writings, but most are clearly not intended to have been passed off as the book mentioned in the Bible and to this comes the frauds. One version has been republished by the Rosicrucian Order. It claims to have been discovered by Flaccus Albinus Alcuinus, Abbot of Canterbury in the 8th century, while on a pilgrimage…”

It was on 12-03-2023 , when I reached 46 years 2 weeks 2 days 15 hrs and 49 sec watched Pastor Jino Gennings on you tube answering a question on , who stole the cloths of Adam?
The man of God answered the question using the screpture from the bible as some of you know that Pastor Jino is the man of scripture. He as well read from the seventh chapter of the book of Jasher to help in giving the true answer.
I there and then opted to download the book and read personally from the book.

you obviously can’t read or use a computer………….the link is right in front of your face, and you would rather imply he’s lying……….. what a little devil
Wow. That was harsh. Remove the enormous plank out of your own eye.
It was just a straight forward comment and request that received a straight forward response. If you are that bothered I would encourage you to read the book of Wisdom. That was very mean.
To both Don Pierce and Lichtenberg, apologies for the drama. To the creator of this site, I know this site is set up as a resource and some of us thank you for sharing it. Very great full. Be blessed.
Well said.
That’s what’s wrong with the ppl of the world today ,ppl want issues sugarcoated to make it soft and easy to listen to. Let the truth fall where it may. Can’t stand the heat get out of the kitchen.
I am so grateful for your complete collection at my fingertips. Thank You.
I must comment that the Book of Jasher, similar to the book of Jubilees, is a book that can read as detrimental to the prospect of peace between Muslim and Jew as the descendants of first and second born Ishmael-Esau and Isaac-Jacob. The two works are an embellishment on Genesis and deepens the separation between first and second born. Isaac-Jacob are elevated and Ishmael-Esau are not-the narrative is altered to strengthen the Abraham-Isaac-Jacob line and many integral possibilities are eliminated in the new narrative. Whereas the new openings in imagination are refreshing, there are clear objectives in the rewriting to the ‘favored’ lineage. Jubilees in 150 BC and Jasher in 150 AD as some assert.
Read the Book and Keep your Personal Feelings or Opinions. Don’t always try to please your Ego. Not everything that is against anyone is in someway altered. Don’t always judge things by with a mind of Favoritism or Bias. Just take it as it is. Unless you have a Critical Specific Evidence not a he say or she said.
Wow this is really interesting. I will definitely look int9 it. Thanks for sharing.

Want two copies, of birthright Esau and biblical geography
I’m sorry, I meant to add that if you want to get a good copy of this book by a good editor, get the Book of Jasher by Ken Johnson. It’s available on Amazon. He has edited many copies of the Apocrypha, as well as many other books pertaining to them, and he shows you how they relate to the Bible.
Yes I agree and he did a good job.
This book is part of the Apocrypha, which means that it is not considered part of the canon, which means that it is not considered sacred, inspired by the Holy Spirit, Scripture. It is interesting, it can be read for culture and history, by it is not scared, and it does NOT explain anything written in the Bible.
Want a copy of this book
Im in kenya in north rift ineed acopy of this boock jarsher
This book really explains and expands old bible events…
This is very powerful
The Book of Jasher is really “A History of the Righteous from Adam to the Conquest of Canaan.” See Jasher XCI:11-15. It appears to be a true history with only a few discrepancies from what can be found in the “Holy Bible”. It would be nice to see a critical text of the present English version with all thirteen known Hebrew copies as indicated in the Preface or Forward of the book.
I have read Genesis and it begins two lines the line of life from the tree of life culminating in the City of Water the New Jerusalem the City of Water.
The second line is line of death, which is the tree of knowledge of good and evil culminating in the lake of fire. There are seeds sown in Genesis, like the serpent in Genesis 3 . This seed of the serpent is harvested as the great dragon in Revelation. There is a fictional taste. The book of has a different taste than Genesis-=-Malachi.
Thank you for all the awesome resources on this website
