The Authentic Annals of the Early Hebrews, Volume 1: The Book of Jasher

The enigmatic Book of Jasher (Sefer Hayashar in Hebrew) has been undergoing a renaissance in our time. Mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and II Sam. 1:17, it was thought by many Bible scholars to have been lost. It has been cloaked in obscurity, cloistered away for centuries, and sparsely published, but there have always been those who knew of it's existence. It languished in the care of Hebrew scribes since the time of the destruction of the temple in the first century. It awaited the time when the Jews began to have a degree of academic freedom in the 17th century. By that time printing technology made it possible mass-print the book for the first time in history. Several works have existed by this title, but this volume has all the earmarks of the Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible. Our first edition was released in 1995 and it has since been read and enjoyed by thousands. This 2nd edition is finally released after 17 years of additional research. It is now a 2 volume set , greatly expanded and fully indexed, in a handier 6 x 9 format. Our edition includes important prefaces that tell the fascinating story of the survival of the book down to modern times. Our first edition contained eight appendices that analyzed key passages in the book. These original appendices have become chapters in Volume II, to which we have added 151 additional pages of material.
