MormonVideoGame Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) Sefer haYashar "Various other collections of the book of Jasher are available today and may be of some worth" - Bible Dictionary Quote 27 And the waters prevailed and they greatly increased upon the earth, and they lifted up the ark and it was raised from the earth. 30 And all the living creatures that were in the ark were terrified, and the lions roared, and the oxen lowed, and the wolves howled, and every living creature in the ark spoke and lamented in its own language, so that their voices reached to a great distance, and Noah and his sons cried and wept in their troubles; they were greatly afraid that they had reached the gates of death. 31 And Noah prayed unto the Lord, and cried unto him on account of this, and he said, O Lord help us, for we have no strength to bear this evil that has encompassed us, for the waves of the waters have surrounded us, mischievous torrents have terrified us, the snares of death have come before us; answer us, O Lord, answer us, light up thy countenance toward us and be gracious to us, redeem us and deliver us. looks like a Global flood to me Edited March 13, 2017 by MormonVideoGame

juliann Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 Jasher is a very late text, more than one actually, with unknown provenance. So I also ask, what is your point? Not to mention that waves surrounding you is pretty much what a flood is by definition....it says nothing about the scope of the flood. 2
clarkgoble Posted March 13, 2017 Posted March 13, 2017 (edited) The Book of Jasher you can read is not the book mentioned in the Bible. There are two books. One is an 18th century fraud by Jacob Ilive while the other is a Jewish midrash from the era of the Renaissance. That many Jews in the medieval era and later (as with Christians) accepted a global flood isn't in dispute. Edited March 13, 2017 by clarkgoble
