Charles, have you read Jubilees? If you believe that angels told Moses everything on Mount Sinai then he wrote it down, it explains why those books are written by Him but not all witnessed by him. Another explanation is that the stories found in Genesis were an oral tradition passed down through the generations of men, and Moses just wrote them down. The Talmud says that Moses wrote Job, but I note that they were post-Christ Jews, therefore making them anti-christs, and possessors of the spirit of falsehood.

The book of Jasher is mention in twice in the Bible at Joshua 10:13 and 2 Samuel 1:18. In hebrew its 'Book of the Upright' and covers the 1st 6 books of the OT Genesis - Joshua. I have read the Book of Jasher a long time ago; their is small differences then from what is in the OT. Book of Jasher was consider for the canon but rejected since it was so close to what was already in the OT.

"All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness" 2 Timothy 3:16
"Knowing this first, that no prophecy of the scripture is of any private interpretation. For the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost. 2 Peter 1:20-21
It means NOTHING about what man's opinions are without testing it with Scripture. If it does not match the Word, it is a LIE.

Book of Jasher is probably one of the most debated books. I'm just going to hit on some of the arguments and findings of the book. Its authenticity; the translator of the 1840 translation said is that its not Divine inspiration, but say that is holds some historical value to us today(3) . Scholars believe Book of Jasher to be written from secular point of view, and not for history but maybe for theories or ideals to the events in the OT (1). Scholars are also un-sure as to the author is and believe that it has serveral authors to it (1). I do have a correction to make from my first post. The Book of Jasher not consider for the cannon. (I found my notes to my study of this book. My apologies for my error.
) However some believe that it had been alter over the years with serveral authors and parts of the book could be the text reference in Joshua and 2 Samual (1). This is not to say at one point in time it was the real book mention in the Bible. But differences in the Bible to Jasher do vary.
Scholars know of serveral more that have been found or cited in other books (2). The one I base my research and read was the one translated in 1840. I have read serveral articles that will argue this Book all away around. I encourge you to read and do your own research an I would like to hear what you find. I am not a scholar I just enjoy studying the history of Christianity. I've been studying the history indepth off and on for a few years now. Book of Jasher was one of the first Books of the lost text I read. Understanding the history of Christianity in itself has help me grow in my walk with the Lord.
