Eliezer Ben Avraham:
I heard that there were other books about Avraham that didn't make it into the Torah, does anyone know where these were found and what they say?

Dexter:
What about Sefer HaYessira ?

Eliezer Ben Avraham:

The Book of Jasher                                               $24.95     SALE $18.75
The Authentic Annals of The Early Hebrews     

by Wayne Simpson

A new title and a new edition of a very ancient Hebrew book. The Book of Jasher, or Sefer HaYashar in Hebrew, signifies upright or accurate. Several works exist by this title, but this volume has all the earmarks of the Book of Jasher mentioned in Joshua 10:13 and II Sam. 1:17, thought by many Bible scholars to have been lost. This enigmatic book has never really been lost. This volume includes prefaces that tell the fascinating story of the survival of the Book of Jasher down to modern times. Rich in details, it provides insights into a number of biblical episodes that are otherwise unclear, covering the period from creation through Joshua. It provides proper names and other important clues to establish links between biblical history and secular history, particularly the history of early Europe and Egypt. Its material flies in the face of traditional chronological relationships to Egyptian and European history. For those bold enough re-examine the traditional concepts of ancient and biblical history, the Book of Jasher can be a gold mine of information. Anyone who is interested in the Bible will immediately recognize the value of this volume as a parallel text.

How do we know about this book? the Torah was given at mount sinai, but where was this book given?

judeanoncapta:
Sefer HaYashar is a midrash written in the middle ages. People are confused and think that it is the Sefer HaYashar mentioned in the Book of Samuel.

It is not.

so most of these books are midrash and were not given at Sinai?
