The first word(s) of the work is/are either סֵפֶר הַיָּשָֽׁר or just הַיָּשָֽׁר. As to קָשֶׁת, the JPS renders the first part of the verse, “He order the Judites to be taught [The Song] of the Bow.” If this is correct, with קָשֶׁת we are likely dealing with a traditional title or Duane Smithhttp://www.telecomtally.com/blog/noreply@blogger.com
