Sefer Ha-Yashar, Or, the Book of Jasher: Referred to in Joshua and Second Samuel: Faithfully Translated from the Original Hebrew Into English

Excerpt from Discourse on the Evidences of the American Indians, Being the Descendants of the Lost Tribes of Israel Delivered Before the Mercantile Library Association, Clinton Hall It is a singular fact that history is exceedingly confused, or rather I may say dark, respecting the ultimate dispersion of the tribes among the cities of the Medes. The last notice we have of them is from the second Book of Esdras, which runs thus. Whereas thou sawest another peaceable multitude these are the ten tribes which were carried away prisoners out of their own land in the time of Osea, whom Salmanazar King of As syria led away captive, and he carried them over the waters, so they came unto another land. They took this counsel among themselves that they would leave the multitude of the heathen, and go into a further country wherein never mankind dwelt, that they might there keep their statutes, which they never kept in their own land, (assyria,) and there was a great way to go, namely a year and a half.

The authenticity of "The Book of Jasher" is debated by religious scholars. The book is referenced in Second Samuel, which some scholars point to as validation of its authentic origin. The author, Jasher, is supposedly the son of Caleb, a lieutenant of Moses and the book is believed by some to be one of the first books of the bible. "The Book of Jasher" recounts the biblical history from creation up to the time of Jasher. Regardless of its true origin, "The Book of Jasher" makes for interesting consideration amongst the other biblical scriptures.
