The Book of Jasher - Creation through the Joshua

If we follow the order of the Cepher bible, Jubilees is the THIRD book after the Torah. 

 

Unlike the 15 books of the Apocypha, Jasher was not included in the original 1611 King James bible, nor was it found among the scrolls in the Dead Sea caves as far as I can tell (ref), HOWEVER, the book of Jasher is referenced THREE times in our standard 66 book bible. Two of the references are to "book of Jasher" in the Old Testament. The third reference is not as straight forward. In 2 Timothy, a letter/epistle to Timothy, two people are mentioned that are also mentioned in the book of Jasher (Jannes & Jambres).  The specific verses are included below.

 

Does Jasher being referenced in our mainstream bible make Jasher scripture? I can't say. However, if true, this book sure does answer a lot of questions. I highly recommend.

So the sun stood still, and the moon stopped,

Until the nation avenged themselves of their enemies.

Is it not written in the book of Jashar?

And the sun stopped in the middle of the sky

and did not hasten to go for about a whole day.

JOSHUA 10:13

​

And YHWH hearkened to the voice of Joshua,

and the sun stood still in the midst of the heavens,

and it stood still six and thirty moments, and the moon also stood still and

hastened not to go down a whole day.

JASHER 88:64

​

Then David chanted with this lament over Saul and Jonathan his son,  

and he told [them] to teach the sons of Judah [the song of] the bow;

behold, it is written in the book of Jashar.

2 SAMUEL 1:17-18

Just as Jannes and Jambres opposed Moses,

so these [men] also oppose the truth, men of depraved mind,

rejected in regard to the faith.

2 TIMOTHY 3:8

​

And when they had gone Pharaoh sent for Balaam the magician and to 

Jannes and Jambres his sons,

and to all the magicians and conjurors and counsellors

which belonged to the king, and they all came and sat before the king.
