DF'd? Now what would an old person do to get df'd? Apostacy?

The Book of Jasher mentions:
Jasher 5:21 And all the sons of men who knew the Lord, died in that year before the Lord brought evil upon them; for the Lord willed them to die, so as not to behold the evil that God would bring upon their brothers and relatives, as he had so declared to do.
Then Jasher 5:35-36 Then Noah took the three daughters of Eliakim, son of Methuselah, for wives for his sons,as the Lord had commanded Noah. And it was at that time Methuselah the son of Enoch died, nine hundred and sixty years old was he, at his death. -

Which book of Jasher? There are so many midrashim and latter-day apocryphons with that name (at least 10 at last count), it is not obvious which one is being referred to.
N.B. It appears that it is the sixteenth-century Hebrew midrash Sefer ha-Yashar that is being cited.

Yes, its supposed to be Sefer haYashar. The one I qouted from is by M. M. Noah. Published by J. H. Parry & Company, 1887.

Technically I guess he is related
I just read your bio. Actually had heard it before, but your version is a little less dramatic.
