Editorial Review:
According to some sources, this book was once the original start of the Bible. Originally translated from Hebrew in A.D. 800, "The Book of Jasher" was suppressed, then rediscovered in 1829 when it was once again suppressed. Reemerged again, in his preface Alcuin writes the reference to Jasher in 2 Samuel authenticates this book.

The setting is identical,following Abram's victory in Genesis 14. I have heard the theory that this King/High Priest was Shem. The problem with this is that Shem has a genealogy(Gen.6:10) ...
