 ==Joshua and Samuel who quoted Jasher and Enoch==
+This part of the question is definite proof that the author of the questions does not understand plagiarism.
+There are 2 references in the Old Testament to the Book of Jasher:
+'''Joshua 10:13'''
+:''So the sun stood still, And the moon stopped, Till the people had revenge Upon their enemies. Is this not written in the '''Book of Jasher'''? So the sun stood still in the midst of heaven, and did not hasten to go down for about a whole day.
+'''2 Samuel 1:18'''
+:''...and he told them to teach the children of Judah the Song of the Bow; indeed it is written in the '''Book of Jasher'''...''
+It is not possible to plagiarize when you mention the source.  One again for emphasis, if William Branham had simply said that he was using some ideas that he got from Clarence Larkin, it would not have been plagiarism.
+With respect to Enoch, we are unsure what the reference is as we are not aware of either Joshua or Samuel quoting Enoch.  If the author of the question could send us a more detailed email containing a specific scripture reference, then we could address this issue more specifically.
