Wasn’t the Book of Enoch found later as well? They are both mentioned in the Bible as those who walked with God which gives them credibility though.
I am inclined to think that someone knew their content and didn’t want to be exposed so they hid them and they were found much later. Why they didn’t destroy them, I don’t know. Glad they didn’t though. Many have tried to destroy the Bible and failed though, so……
Jasher and Enoch are both basically retelling of the Pentateuch. I think Jasher was probably an early midrash, a rabbinical commentary, not any important revelation. Enoch is more complicated and interesting, and there are three "Books of Enoch." The most complete and scholarly discussion of Enoch that I know of is The Books of Enoch: The Angels, The Watchers, and The Nephilim, by Joseph B. Lumpkin. I highly recommend it over all the breathless OMG YT type information, because the author has dug up all the usual apocrypha and more, and cross referenced it wth history and canonical scripture. You can get it on Amazon.
