1 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73795 | ||
Hello EdB, Thank you for your response and concern in this matter. I believe the scripture is very clear about not letting any man deceive us. I’m no Bible expert, But, let me run this by you, for your consideration. I am reading along in the Word of God , and I come across these references to the book of Jasher, that two great men of God, Joshua and David are directing my attention to. (As a means of validating what they are saying.) So , my interest is aroused, and I search out and obtain a copy of this book. I will admit I have not read the whole way through the book as my studies send me off in different directions to find information. I was a little concerned last night after reading Taleb’s reply, where it was pointed out to me that neither reference was valid. What?!!! I knew that the account of Joshua was in there so I looked at that first, and yes, it’s still there. If I could talk to Joshua, I would tell him, Yes, I’ve read of the account of which you speak, and it is written in Jasher. My main concern was David’s reference in 2Sam 1:18, I had not checked it out, ( Forgive me, and Thank you for helping to keep me honest). So, I went and started reading, and guess what, I found it! So now also, if I could talk to David, I could tell him, Yes , I have seen where it is written. Now , I’m dry, what I need is this, “more than a little proof”, you speak of. I mean if this book is wrong, or contrary to the scriptures, I want to check it out and make sure before I toss it out. But, if it is true or at least worthy of noting, I would like to be able to glean information from it. For example, the name of Lot’s wife. I also doubt the writer of Jasher forgot to write anything as it was apparently written before Joshua and David referred to it. I realize that this book (Jasher) is not the inspired Word of God.( If a subject of disagreement arose between God’s Word and Jasher, The Holy Scriptures would win out hands down.) This does however appear to be an excellent history book, with between the lines information of early Biblical accounts. Also consider this, God’s Word says it is written in Jasher, Is it not calling God a liar, If we deny the what the Word tells us. I looked and these things are written in the Book of Jasher. Now you have two contrary accounts of the references to this book, My account is agreeable with scripture, Biblical experts refute it as a deception. Someone is lying, You judge for yourself. I will provide the references if you are interested, Or you could do like I did and check it out for yourself. Anyway, Who would waste time and read through a book that has been labeled as deception just to check to see if the Bible experts are telling the truth. Let no man deceive you with empty words. I want to add that it was not my intention to defend the Book of Jasher, ( I do think it was unduly maligned) and it will have to stand on its own. But to defend the Word of God , I hope you can see where Biblical experts have denied the Word of God. Yours in truth, wordoer |

2 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | EdB | 73829 | ||
wordoer Your missing the point. The Book of Jasher is mentioned in the Bible. However the authentic Book of Jasher was lost and never has been found. The book you have is a hoax, it is made up. In fact the first attempt to produce the hoax never included the two events the Bible insists the authentic Book of Jasher contained. When this was discovered by Bible experts they declared the whole thing a hoax. If your copy now includes these events this would tell me the people involved with printing this either did a revision in an attempt to make it look authentic or this is another book put out. The Book of Jasher mentioned in the Bible has never been found. No one can produce the Hebrew manuscript of the Book of Jasher from which they are supposedly translating from. This is someone’s attempt to write a book claiming it to be newly found lost book of the Bible when in fact that is not true. EdB |

3 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | wordoer | 73891 | ||
Hello EdB, I want to acknowledge that I do see your point, I realize it could be a fraud , But, I need evidence to look at to study and prove it out. (I have Taleb's link) If it is a fraud, I will acknowledge it as such and post a retraction ,stating among other things that it is possible that Lot's wife's name is not "Ado", as I posted previously. I wish to investigate this to it's end, and solidly establish (at least in my mind), the fraudulency or the credibility of this 1840 version of "The Book of Jasher". I would like your opinion on this though, If in studying these contradictory notes, I find the "Book of Jasher" to be credible or fraudulent, should I post the results at the referenced scriptures in the Bible, on this website? I do thank you for your response, wordoer |

wordoer I assure you, the copy you have is not the the same book of Jasher spoken about in the Bible. I do not think it necessary to post anything as most everyone knows the actual book of Jasher is lost and has never been found. EdB |

5 | What was the name of Lot´s wife? | Gen 19:26 | Hank | 73897 | ||
My dear EdB, do I have a scoop! It's about Lot's wife. According to the annals of Rasmon, it's Lottie, but Rasmon was a kook. I'd rather go with the Definitive Commentary of Sir Thomas Fisher who really set the hook on this topic. Said he, "Inasmuch as Lot's wife turned into a pillar of salt, it is more than logical to assume that her given name was Saline. Moreover, Saline and her husband Lot were expert sailors and went Saline Lots of times." --Hank | ||||||

Hank Saline - Oh it hurts! Be nice, besides everybody knows her name was Morton. That's why we have Morton salt today. EdB |
