Which "book of Jasher" are you quoting? As I understand from a recent
discussion on another list, there are at least two such books extant,
but none is ancient or the original referred to in the Hebrew Bible. The
book published in London in 1750/1 and reissued by Rosicrucians in the
USA around 1935 is recognised to be an 18th century forgery by Jacob
Ilive. The book published in New York in 1840 and previously in Venice
in 1624/5 probably originates in mediaeval Spain. There is also an 1829
edition by Albinus Flaccus, probably yet another work. In fact Wikipedia
suggests that the situation is even more complex, see
