The Legends of the Jews — Volume 3 by Louis Ginzberg
"The Legends of the Jews — Volume 3" by Louis Ginzberg is a compilation published between 1909-1938. This third volume chronicles biblical legends from the Exodus through Moses's death, drawing from ancient Jewish texts including the Talmud and Midrash. Part of a monumental seven-volume work, it weaves together centuries of oral traditions and rabbinical commentary into continuous narrative. Originally written in German and translated by Henrietta Szold, this collection has influenced scholars,
artists, and even figured in the famous Scopes Trial, earning praise for making ancient Jewish folklore accessible. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
