Samuel, i. 18\nSALT LAKE CITY:\nPUBLISHED BY J.H. PARRY & COMPANY\n1887.\nThis is one of the apochrypal Books of Jasher.\nThere are several (as many as five) separate works by this title, all\ncomposed much later than Biblical times.\nThis particular one is a translation of a Hebrew book printed in 1613.\nSepir Ha Yasher, the Hebrew title of this book, means the 'Book of the Upright',\nor 'the Upright or Correct Record'.\nThis title was misread as 'Jasher', and at some point Jasher was\ntreated as a proper name; however the pronoun 'the' (hebrew 'ha')\nnever preceeds proper names.\nThere is also another spurious Book of Jasher, published 1750, in which Jasher\nis treated as the name of the author.\nThis text covers much of the same ground as the traditional Mosaic books\nof the Bible, from the creation of the world to the death of Moses,\nalbeit with several minor variations.","title":"The Book of Jasher","type":"page"}
