Learn more about this wonderful work YASHAR:
Do you think you know the Torah? We have many questions about matters we don't understand. Being a divine matter, they are barely mentioned, undeveloped, and with almost no details, leaving us with many concerns and questions, such as: Why did Cain kill Abel?
What happened to those who built the tower of Babylon?
Why are the kings of Egypt called Pharaoh?
Why did the Egyptians make the people of Israel work, what was their fear?
What happened between the Exodus from Egypt and the parting of the Red Sea?
Answers to these and many other questions are what you will find in this valuable document, the
which will serve as a complement to the Torah, narrating with emotion and action the entire history of the first 2600 years of the universe, with great detail, referring to dates, characters, the most
notable passages, events and the reasons why they happened.
This is a translation of the original Jewish version of the Great Book of Yashar, also known as the book "The Wars of the Sons of Ya'akov (Jacob)." This is what the Ramban (Nachmanides 1194–1270) calls it.
In the book of Yehoshua (Joshua) 10:13, when it tells the story of how Yehoshua stopped the sun... so that night would not come, (BSD will read it when you get to the section –Yehoshua- in this book)
It says: “And the sun stood still, and the moon stood still, until the people had taken vengeance on their enemies.
“As it is written in the book of Yashar” and the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to
to take almost a whole day." It is a great exception that the Bible sends you to another source.
Therefore, all commentators try to uncover the great mystery of what book is being referred to, who wrote it, when, etc.
Could this be the Book?
Although in the original introduction it is said that the book was written by an old man in the time of
the destruction of the temple, 1951 years ago, in the year 3828 of the creation of the universe (in the year 68
of the common era), and which is apparently interpreted from the Talmud, tractate Avoda Zara
(paganism) 11,a: That the book written in Yehoshua is another book and I have also found in books
from a thousand years ago, they say about that book that was lost. I thank God for enlightening me.So I found a book called Rav Pealim by the great Rabbi Abraham, son of
Vilna Gaon (1750-1808), in which it is written that this book belongs to the generation that
He spent 40 years in the desert when they left Egypt and it was apparently written by the
Moshe Rabenu (Moses) himself.
In any case, this is a very old book. Being a biblical and sacred text, I have tried to adhere to the text as closely as possible in the translation. Therefore, you will find seemingly repetitive expressions or the overuse of the conjunction "and." For this reason, I have written the names as they are truly pronounced in the biblical language, but not as they are transcribed in Spanish. Likewise, in the glossary, you will find the Spanish equivalent of each name. Likewise, regarding many facts that are completely mysterious, you will find explanations from our deceased sages, which, with God's help, I have added in parentheses alongside them.
It is, then, a very captivating and welcoming reading that expands the biblical text, which will shed light on important passages and aspects that were unknown to us, which we are Surely, it will serve to improve our knowledge, affirm our faith, be better people and live a full life.
