WARS OF THE LORD, Book of the
Document mentioned once in the OT (Nm 21:14); it is found in a description of Moab’s border at the Arnon. The book was used as a source but is no longer extant. It probably contained a record of Israel’s conquest in Transjordan and may be identical to the “Book of the Upright [Jashar]” (Jos 10:13; 2 Sm 1:18). The passage in Numbers 21 has a poetic style and pertains to Israel’s conquest and warfare. However, the extent of the quotation is debatable. Some limit it to verse 14, others include verse 15, and still others include verses 27-30.
