I must have missed that. From my perspective he's pretty consistent with the pleb bible.
Idk what the Book of the upright even is :sweat:
Quodesh quoted from the book of jasher seemingly unaware that what he was quoting was actually known as Sefer haYashar or The book of the upright.
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sefer_haYashar_(midrash)The actual book referenced in Joshua does not exist anymore.

There is a book called “The Book of Jasher” today, although it is not the same book as mentioned in the Old Testament. It is an eighteenth-century forgery that alleges to be a translation of the “lost” Book of Jasher by Alcuin, an eighth-century English scholar. There is also a more recent book titled “The Book of Jashar” by science fiction and fantasy writer Benjamin Rosenbaum. This book is a complete work of fiction.
Another book by this same name, called by many “Pseudo-Jasher,” while written in Hebrew, is also not the “Book of Jasher” mentioned in Scripture. It is a book of Jewish legends from the creation to the conquest of Canaan under Joshua, but scholars hold that it did not exist before A.D. 1625. In addition, there are several other theological works by Jewish rabbis and scholars called “Sefer ha Yashar,” but none of these claim to be the original Book of Jasher.
