Thoughts on this? I’ve seen the book of Jasher in multiple places as I studied apocrypha texts tho’ never read it. If it was lost where are these texts from?
That's such a common point of confusion! The text you linked is likely the Sefer ha-Yashar - which is a medieval collection of Jewish legend (or possibly the 18th-century forgery). The actual ancient text referenced in Joshua and 2 Samuel is historically lost to time. What we have today are later texts that adopted the same cool title. Great catch though!
There is a band from Germany (I think) that as they were young and buskers they travelled to monasteries and recovered old styles of instruments and music from early mid history,,, they then hand made their own costumes and instruments from hand and play what would have been the soundtrack of those times,,, they are called CORVUS CORAX they even did Carmina Burana
If you feel like hearing what it may have sounded like before
It’s in my Cepher. It takes all the stories in Genesis and goes deeper instead of just skimming the surface. It is almost twice as long as Genesis. It goes into more depth about why Yahuah told Avraham to sacrifice Yitshaq. Ha’Shatan tried to tattle on Avraham to Yahuah saying he wasn’t thanking Yahuah for every milestone in the long awaited Yitshaq’s life. Yahuah told Ha’Shatan “Have you considered my servant Avraham?” Sounds like what he asked about Job. Even way back then there was “nothing new under the sun.”

Thanks for clarifying this for me. I appreciate your work.
