The Book of Jasher
Jasher Manufacturer: Cedar Fort ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1555179193 |
Book Description
The Book of Jasher, reprinted for the first time in several years and with a new introduction by popular author W. Jeffrey Marsh, offers Bible readers interesting and important insights into the first two thousand years of biblical history.The Book of Jasher follows the biblical accounts in Genesis, Exodus, Numbers, Deuteronomy, and Joshua. It reads like the Bible but includes interpolations and elaborations not found in the Bible. In addition, it sheds light on Bible stories from the time of Adam and Eve, the ministry of Enoch, and the account of the great Deluge during the days of Noah to the Tower of Babel, nefarious Nimrod, and faithful Abraham and his descendants.
As Moredecai M. Noah wrote in his introduction to the 1840 English translation: "Without giving it to the world as a work of Divine inspiration, or assuming the responsibility to say that it is not an inspired book, I have no hesitation in pronouncing it a work of great antiquity and interest, and a work that is entitled, even regarding it as a literary curiosity, to a great circulation among those who take pleasure in studying the scriptures."

The Book of Jasher - The J. H. Parry Text In Modern English
Manufacturer: Fifth Estate ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items:
ASIN: 1933580143 |
Book Description
The value of The Book of Jasher is seen in the large quantity of additional detail revealed from the period between divine creation and the time of Joshua's leadership over Israel when the Israelites enter into the land of Canaan. The Book of Jasher includes details about the antediluvian patriarchs, angels, watchers, the flood, the tower of Babel, and many other events mentioned in the Bible. The tales are expanded and infused with detail not previously available. This means we receive insight into the lives of Abraham, Noah, Enoch, Joseph, and many other biblical figures. We come to understand how they became great and why they acted as they did. We are also given hitherto unknown knowledge of historical events. We are shown how God's hand shaped history through his love and anger. We see how his disappointment with men and angels ended in earth's near total destruction.Download Description
The Book of Jasher - Quoted in the Old Testament - Held in high regard by Mormons - - - The Book Of Jasher, or Sefer Ha Yashar, is referred to in the books of Joshua and Second Samuel of the Holy Bible. "Behold it is written in the Book of Jasher."--II Samuel, i. 18 "Is not this written in the Book of Jasher?"--Joshua, x. 13. Jasher (Yashar) is a Hebrew word meaning "upright". Jasher is not the name of the author or any prophet or judge of Israel, as scholars had previously thought. The name refers to the fact that the record, facts, and history are upright, correct, and thus, trustworthy. The value of The Book of Jasher is seen in the large quantity of additional detail revealed in the period between divine creation and the time of Joshua's leadership over Israel when the Israelites enter into the land of Canaan. The Book of Jasher includes details about the antediluvian patriarchs, angels, watchers, the flood, the tower of Babel, and many other events mentioned in the Bible. The tales are expanded and infused with detail not previously available. This means we receive insight into the lives of Abraham, Noah, Enoch, Joseph, and many other biblical figures.

It's a fun book.......2002-02-23
Curiosity value.......2000-01-10
Most scholarly mention of this work is negative; available articles point out that 1)The King James English of the book is not the English Alcuin knew (900 years before the KJV!) and 2)Nothing anywhere in this work validates the two Bible references to the "book of Jasher." Despite the introductory notes (especially those added in later republishings), the end notes admit that the work itself is not of Biblical grade or intent, and merely serves as a second account of early Bible events. The book does have some value in the study of what makes the cut and what doesn't, and has reappeared several times the last couple centuries. It's best taken with a grain of salt.

Has the ring of authenticity and makes fascinating reading!.......2003-10-25
The books of Joshua and 2 Samuel in the Old Testament mention the Book of Jasher or "Upright Record" as a source of information for two historical events that the Bible covers briefly. These two stories are contained in the thirteenth century translation, but the incident in 2 Samuel is not covered in the ninth century edition at all. Furthermore, the thirteenth century translation appears to have been made from a Hebrew original. Besides the claim that it came from a Hebrew original, the thirteenth century copy of the Book of Jasher has the sound of an authentic historical document written by someone with a Semitic background who actually witnessed some of the recorded events. This thirteenth century edition is far longer than the ninth century edition and contains too many authentic cultural descriptions of Near Eastern and Semitic life to have been invented. Furthermore, none of the more vivid and colorful historical and cultural recollections in the thirteenth century edition that give it such a ring of authenticity appear in the supposedly older manuscript by Alcuinus.
Since the Book of Jasher is not considered a religious document but a historical narrative, however, some of its stories may have been embellished or may contain inaccuracies. In addition, the Book of Jasher 's chronology for certain events differs in some cases from the abbreviated Genesis account of this time period in the Bible. I always trust that the Bible is more accurate in these cases. Nevertheless, the Book of Jasher has great value as a history since it offers a wealth of details the Genesis account by Moses lacks. In many cases, it can help us to understand difficult passages or situations recorded too briefly in the Bible. Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to prove whether or not the thirteenth century copy of the Book of Jasher available to us today is a legitimate Bible history or not until a much older manuscript is found. Someday, I hope this will happen. In the meantime, however, I am allowing the Holy Spirit to guide my choices and I believe that there is enough internal evidence in the Book of Jasher to prove that it is authentic.

Book of Jasher - Referred to in Joshua & Second Samuel

ASIN: 1595479937 |
Book Description
Virtually ignored since it was discovered, the Book of Jasher holds vital clues to interpreting and understanding Biblical chronology, from the Flood to the Exodus. A mistake made by Archbishop James Ussher, who was unfamiliar with the book of Jasher, led to a 60-year error in placing the birth of Abraham. But this error is corrected in the chronological keys provided by the book of Jasher. And with these keys, an intriguing, and astounding story emerges. The book of Jasher, mentioned in the Biblical books of Joshua and Second Chronicles, was faithfully translated into English from the Rabbinical Hebrew in approximately A.D. 1840. Says the translator's preface, "the ever memorable events and transactions recorded in Scripture are with many others of the most interesting nature, comprehended in the Book of Jasher; and they are all arrayed in that style of simple, unadorned majesty and precision, which so particularly distinguishes the genius of the Hebrew language/ and this, together with other numerous internal evidences, it is presumed will go far to convince the Hebrew scholar that the book is, with the exception of some doubtful parts, a venerable monument of antiquity; and that, notwithstanding some few additions may have been made to it in comparatively modern times, it still retains sufficient to prove it a copy of the book referred to in Joshua, chapter x, and 2 Samuel, chap. i. Please Note: This book is easy to read in true text, not scanned images that can sometimes be difficult to decipher.Download Description

Anonymous Manufacturer: Apocryphile Press ProductGroup: Book Binding: Paperback Similar Items: ASIN: 1933993219 |
Book Description
This book contains a more detailed account of the awful circumstances attending the commencement of the flood, and of the conduct of Noah toward the terrified multitude who had assembled about the ark, when the fatal moment had arrived, and their doom was irrevocably fixed. From this book we learn that Noah and Abraham were contemporaries. How beautiful the contemplation of the meeting between these two Patriarchs, the one being a monument of God's mercy, the other having the promise of the favor and grace of God, not only to himself, but to his seed after him. This apocryphal classic is once again available from the Apocryphile Press.

The Book of Jasher

ASIN: 159605445X |
Book Description
But in the latter days of Methuselah, the sons of men turned from the Lord, they corrupted the earth, they robbed and plundered each other, and they rebelled against God and they transgressed, and they corrupted their ways, and would not hearken to the voice of Methuselah, but rebelled against him. -from Chapter IV 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.Customer Reviews:
