Note 3 topic: translate-transliterate

the Book of Jashar

The word Jashar is the name of a book. In your translation, you could spell it the way it sounds in your language, or you could use a word or phrase from your language that expresses the meaning of this name. Alternate translation: “the book of Yasher” or “the Book of the Upright One”
