Jacob
Israel, the twelve sons, and the descent into Egypt
The KJV supplies Jacob’s calling, family, name Israel, return, grief, descent into Egypt, blessings, and 147-year lifespan. Jasher adds synchronisms and wider family narratives.
The governing order
Scripture establishes the line; Jasher supplies additional detail.
Additional narratives are retained as testimony and always identified by source.
Where Jasher adds an identity, event, age, or conflict absent from Scripture, the distinction remains visible.
