Book of Jashar & Book of the Wars of the LORD

Ancient SourcesBiblical Theology

Two ancient books are cited in Scripture as already-existing sources—the Book of Jashar and the Book of the Wars of the LORD—but both are lost. The medieval text that calls itself the "Book of Jasher" is a pseudepigraph and not the biblical source.
