(Joshua 10:13)Īnd he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow indeed it is written in the Book of Jasher: (2 Samuel 1:18) Is this not written in the Book of Jasher?

Yes, of course there is the Apocrypha – the 12 books Protestants threw out that are in Catholic Bibles (which are older than the Protestant versions).
