Jasher 10

Year 1998
25 And four men from the family of Ham went to the land of the plain; these are the names of the four men, Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah and Zeboyim.
26 And these men built themselves four cities in the land of the plain, and they called the names of their cities after their own names.
27 And they and their children and all belonging to them dwelt in those cities, and they were fruitful and multiplied greatly and dwelt peaceably.
28 And Seir the son of Hur, son of Hivi, son of Canaan, went and found a valley opposite to Mount Paran, and he built a city there, and he and his seven sons and his household dwelt there, and he called the city which he built Seir, according to his name; that is the land of Seir unto this day.
29 These are the families of the children of Ham, according to their languages and cities, when they were scattered to their countries after the tower.

The book of Jasher provides the best records of genealogy.
Scholars are still today wondering about the genealogy of Seir.
Why won't people read such books but will read sci-fi and unproven science?
I honestly don't understand.
Why do they rather hear 21st century scholars instead of expanding their own knowledge with books dating thousands of years?
Fear of heresy? Who said so? Did the Bible forbid those books?
Jesus never told me not to. (Yes, the Lord did speak to me once)
On this site you will find references of the Apocrypha, and full books of Enoch; Jubilees; and Jasher.
Here is another one that scholars and churches don't understand: When was the book of Job written?
Why did God allow Satan to torment Job?
