Book of Jasher (biblical book)

The book of Jasher is an old book that is only mentioned twice in the Hebrew Bible and was not preserved. This book is mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and it possibly had stories of a celebration of the lives of Israelite heros (2 Samuel 1:18).^[1]^[2]

The Book of Jasher, also referred to as the Book of Just Ones, is believed to be a lost text in its original form. While several translations exist, including a demonstrably inaccurate one from the 18th century, the authenticity of these translations in reflecting the original work remains uncertain.^[3]
