Not being experts in ancient Hebrew, we can only provide this rare work to the world and let those who read it be the judges as to its legitimacy and value. At the same time he admits that some things seem to have been added to the book over the years, but that has happened to other works and, according to him, should not change the overall legitimacy found here. According to the translator (in his Preface), the reference to Jasher in Second Samuel is one place that authenticates this book, stating how it clears up an otherwise vague Biblical reference. Therefore this version, which seems to be the clear and legitimate one, is often dismissed due to those many "pretenders" in the past. Many versions of this book have appeared over the years and were proven to be forgeries. These references have puzzled Bible students and scholars for centuries. It states, "Is not this written in the Book of Jasher?" in Joshua 10:13 and "Behold, it is written in the Book of Jasher," in 2 Samuel 1:18. Whether that was true or not, we do know that it was once contained in the Bible, being referred to in Joshua and Second Samuel. According to some sources, this book was once the original start of the Bible. Get a copy that has not been fooled around with.
