The Book of Jasher - Referred to in Joshua and Second Samuel - Faithfully Translated from the Original Hebrew into English Sefer Hayashar

"The Book of Jasher" (Also known as the "Dibre ha-Yamim be-'Aruk" and "Toledot Adam") is a Hebrew midrash named after the Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible. It provides a history beginning with the creation of Adam and Eve and ending with the Canaanites being driven out of the Promised Land. Contents include: "The Creation of Adam and Eve. The Fall. Birth of Cain and Abel. Abel a Keeper of Sheep. Cain a Tiller of the Soil. The Quarrel Between the Brothers and the Result. Cain, the First Murderer, Cursed of God", "Seth is Born. People begin to Multiply and Become Idolatrous. Third Part of the Earth Destroyed. Earth Cursed and Becomes corrupt through the Wickedness of Men. Cainan, a Wise and Righteous King, Foretells the Flood. Enoch is Born", etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, modern, high-quality edition complete with the original text and artwork.
