19 These are the generations of Shem; Shem begat Arpachshad
and Arpachshad begat Shelach, and Shelach begat Eber and to Eber were born two
children, the name of one was Peleg, for in his days the sons of men were
divided, and in the latter days, the earth was divided. 20 And the name of the second was Yoktan,
meaning that in his day the lives of the sons of men were diminished and
lessened. 21 These are the sons of
Yoktan; Almodad, Shelaf, Chazarmoveth, Yerach, Hadurom, Ozel, Diklah, Obal,
Abimael, Sheba, Ophir, Havilah and Jobab; all these are the sons of
Yoktan. 22 And Peleg his brother begat
Yen, and Yen begat Serug, and Serug begat Nahor and Nahor begat Terah, and
Terah was thirty-eight years old, and he begat Haran and Nahor. Jasher
7:19-22
1 And it was in the night that Abram was born, that all the
servants of Terah, and all the wise men of Nimrod, and his conjurors came and
ate and drank in the house of Terah, and they rejoiced with him on that
night. 2 And when all the wise men and
conjurors went out from the house of Terah, they lifted up their eyes toward
heaven that night to look at the stars, and they saw, and behold one very large
star came from the east and ran in the heavens, and he swallowed up the four
stars from the four sides of the heavens.
Jasher 8:1,2
4 Haran was forty-two years old when he begat Sarai, which
was in the tenth year of the life of Abram; and in those days Abram and his
mother and nurse went out from the cave, as the king and his subjects had
forgotten the affair of Abram. 5 And
when Abram came out from the cave, he went to Noah and his son Shem, and he
remained with them to learn the instruction of the Lord and his ways, and no man
knew where Abram was, and Abram served Noah and Shem his son for a long
time. 6 And Abram was in Noah’s house
thirty-nine years, and Abram knew the Lord from three years old, and he went in
the ways of the Lord until the day of his death, as Noah and his son Shem had
taught him; and all the sons of the earth in those days greatly transgressed
against the Lord, and they rebelled against him and they served other gods, and
they forgot the Lord who had created them in the earth; and the inhabitants of
the earth made unto themselves, at that time, every man his god; gods of wood
and stone which could neither speak, hear, nor deliver, and the sons of men
served them and they became their gods.
Jasher 9:4-6
11 And Adonizedek king of Jerusalem,
the same was Shem, went out with his men to meet Abram and his people, with
bread and wine, and they remained together in the valley of Melech. 12 And Adonizedek blessed Abram, and Abram
gave him a tenth from all that he had brought from the spoil of his enemies, for
Adonizedek was a priest before God. Jasher 9: 11, 12
And Melchizedek king of Salem brought forth bread and wine: and he was the priest of the most high God. 19 And he blessed him, and said, Blessed be Abram of the most high God, possessor of heaven and earth: 20 And blessed be the most high God, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all. Genesis 14:18-20
17 And when the days of their mourning passed by Abraham
sent away his son Isaac, and he went to the house of Shem and Eber, to learn
the ways of the Lord and his instructions, and Abraham remained there three
years. Jasher 24;17
18 At that time Isaac sent his younger son Jacob to the
house of Shem and Eber, and he learned the instructions of the Lord, and Jacob
remained in the house of Shem and Eber for thirty-two years, and Esau his
brother did not go, for he was not willing to go, and he remained in his
father’s house in the land of Canaan. Jasher 28:18
24 And it came to pass in those days, in the hundred and
tenth year of the life of Isaac, that is in the fiftieth year of the life of
Jacob, in that year died Shem the son of Noah; Shem was six hundred years old
at his death. Jasher 28:18
