Book of Jasher (biblical book)
lost book mentioned in 2 Samuel 1:18 and Joshua 10:13
The book of Jasher is an old book that is only mentioned twice in the Hebrew Bible and was not preserved. This book is mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and it possibly had stories of a celebration of the lives of Israelite heros (2 Samuel 1:18).[1][2]
The Book of Jasher, also referred to as the Book of Just Ones, is believed to be a lost text in its original form. While several translations exist, including a demonstrably inaccurate one from the 18th century, the authenticity of these translations in reflecting the original work remains uncertain.[3]
