Everything about Book Of Jasher Biblical References totally explained
» This article is about the book cited in the Bible. For other works of this name see Sefer haYashar.
The Book of Jasher is the normal
English name (used by for example the
King James Bible) of a work known in the original
Hebrew as
Sefer haYashar, (ספר הישר; also transliterated
Sēper haiYāšār). It is the best-known of several "
Lost books of the Old Testament", books referenced in the
Hebrew Bible of which no copies are known to exist. The original Hebrew translates as "Book of the Upright"; it's sometimes known in English as the "Book of Jashar".
Joshua 10:13 states:
» :And then Sun stood still, and the Moon stayed,
:until the people had avenged themselves on their enemies.
» Is this not written in the
Book of the Upright (
Sēper haiYāšār)?
2
Samuel 1:18 states:
» To teach the Sons of
Judah the use of the bow; behold it's written in the
Book of the Upright (
Sēper haiYāšār). /
David's lament for
Jonathan immediately follows./
The
Septuagint translation renders
sefer hayashar in both cases as 'Book of the Just'. The reference to the bow is here missing so that the text reads:
» And he gave orders to teach it the sons of Iouda: behold it's written in the Book of the Just.
The
Vulgate Latin text has
in libro justorum in both citations. In 2 Samuel the
Syriac texts have
Ashir which indicates a Hebrew reading of
ha-shîr 'the song' and in Joshua the Syriac has "Book of Praises".
The
Targum on both passages has "Book of the Law". Yet the
King James English translation rendered
haiyashar as
Jasher, removing the definite article and changing the second vowel. Some more recent translations render instead
Jashar which at least restores the correct
a vowel.
