Sefer Ha-Yashar, also known as The Book of Jasher, is a Hebrew text that presents a historical account of events from the creation of the world to the conquest of Canaan by the Israelites. The book is attributed to the biblical figure Jasher, who is mentioned in the Old Testament in Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. However, the authorship is uncertain, and it is believed that the book was composed in the medieval period.The Book of Jasher is divided into 91 chapters and covers a wide range of topics, including the lives of the patriarchs, the exodus from Egypt, and the reigns of the judges and kings of Israel. The book also includes stories that are not found in the Bible, such as the account of the fallen angels and their offspring, the Nephilim.The Sefer Ha-Yashar has been highly regarded by some Jewish communities throughout history and has been translated into various languages. This edition, translated by M. M. Noah, includes a preface that provides historical context and discusses the importance of the book in Jewish tradition. Overall, The Book of Jasher is a fascinating read for those interested in biblical history and Jewish tradition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
