Book of Jasher: Referred to in Joshua & II Samuel - Complete Exhaustive 1840 J.H. Parry - Sefer Yahshar
Customer Reviews
Rating:  - The trusted "Orange Cover Book" of Jasher by Artisan Publishers has a new cover, but the same reliable translation inside.
I read The Book of Jasher years ago (the Orange Cover book) and then gave it to family members to read. Since I wanted to replace it with the same translation as before (being endorsed by noted religious scholars as to its reliability of translation), I found it again with a great new cover. The name Jasher, means "correct record," and he certainly did keep a very detailed and fascinating account of the events and people found in the books of Genesis and Exodus. - A must read for every serious Bible student.

I find no real discrepency between this book and the Bible, I enjoyed reading this book even though it was not canonized.
Rating:  - I'm not sold on this book.
The book reviewed here is the orange paperback some of the other reviewers mentioned.
This book comes off quite bizarre in some of the added details to OT Scripture.
One example is "Adonizek King of Jerusalem,the same was Shem." (Chapter 16:11). This Adonizek sounds a lot like Melchizedek of Hebrews 7:1-3. 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) while Melchizedek doesn't(Heb.7:2-3).
There is a lot more information in this book regarding Nimrod and his death,the death of Og King of Bashan,the life of Enoch,and the sons of Jacob.
This book purports to give more details to the Old Testament,but are these additions fact or fiction? The answer is probably a bit of both with some passages being exaggerations of fact.
I am sure that there was indeed a "Book of Jasher" as mentioned in the Bible. Is this it? I am not convinced that this book is the genuine article.

This is a must read for every Christian. It is like we have been reading the Reader's Digest Condensed version of the Old Testement and Jasher is the whole and real thing. If you want to find out truth you need to buy this book.
