Although not included as a part of the original canon, The Book of Jasher is mentioned in the books of Joshua and Second Samuel in the Old Testament.

Known also as the "Book of the Upright", The Book of Jasher confirms and expands upon many of the events of the Old Testament including the stories of Cain and Abel, Noah and the Flood, and Abraham and Sarah, as well as covering events that occurred after the Israelites entered the Promised Land.

The Book of Jasher is significant in its historical importance because it is mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, and it corroborates and validates them as well. When many today are trying to discredit the miraculous events in the Bible as myths or fabrications, The Book of Jasher further supports the Bible as the Word of God. Interesting study for any Christian.
