About this ebook

"Is not this written in the Book of Jasher?" ~ Joshua 10:13

"Behold, it is written in the Book of Jasher." ~ 2 Samuel 1:18


The Bible names it twice. Yet most people have never read it.

The Book of Jasher (Sefer HaYashar) is one of the most mysterious texts referenced in all of scripture. This ancient Hebrew chronicle spans from the creation of Adam to the conquest of Canaan, filling in the gaps between the verses of Genesis, Exodus, and Joshua with extraordinary detail that the canonical Bible only briefly mentions.

Inside these pages you will discover:

Abraham cast into Nimrod's fiery furnace and walking out alive. The garments of Adam passing through the generations to give Nimrod his power. Moses reigning as king of Cush for forty years before he ever saw a burning bush. The sons of Jacob defeating entire armies with just eleven men. Esau slain at the cave of Machpelah during a battle over Jacob's burial. Wars among ancient kingdoms that the Bible never describes.

These are not modern inventions. These are traditions preserved for millennia in ancient Hebrew literature and midrashic commentary.

What makes this edition different:

Most editions are dense reprints of archaic nineteenth-century English. This volume is a complete narrative retelling of all 91 chapters, written in reverent, scriptural prose that is clear, elegant, and accessible to the modern reader. It reads like the Bible itself, but richer and more vivid, drawing from the celebrated 1840 J.H. Parry translation, canonical scripture, and ancient Jewish tradition.

Perfect for students of the Bible, lovers of ancient history, readers of apocryphal literature, and anyone who has ever felt that the Old Testament was leaving out part of the story.

It was. This is the rest of it.
