The Book of Jasher. Very valuable ancient Jewish spiritual history book mentioned twice in the Bible (Joshua 10:13 and II Samuel 1:18). Offers incredible insights into life before the flood, such as the following:
-Enoch was, practically speaking, the "Moses" of the pre-flood world, teaching the holy statutes and judgments of Yahuah to all who would listen (chapter 3).
-transgression of the command of Yahuah by the use of chemical/ pharmaceutical "sorcery" to cause contraception or sterilization was common, and the men of that generation were so carnal that they abhorred women who had born children because their figures and anatomy post-partum were not as titillating as those of women who had never had children (chapter 2).
-men living in the days of Noah "took from the cattle of the earth, the beasts of the field, and the fowls of the air, and taught the mixture of animals of one species with the other (i.e. genetic engineering), IN ORDER THEREWITH TO PROVOKE YAHUAH" .... and they succeeded beyond their wildest imaginations, causing Yahuah to bring a universal flood upon the earth to destroy all the wicked people and corrupted life forms (chapter 4).
