Jasher 8 — The Star at Abram’s Birth, and the King Who Tried to Kill the Seed

Book of Jasher · Restored Names Edition · first paragraph

1And 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.

2And 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.

That is the first paragraph of Jasher 8
