Inhaltsangabe

The Legends of the Jews — Volume 4 by Louis Ginzberg is the final volume in his comprehensive work that compiles Jewish folklore, midrash, and interpretations of biblical stories from ancient rabbinical sources. This volume brings to a close the legendary retellings of the biblical narrative, focusing particularly on the final years of Moses’ life, the conquest of Canaan, and the early history of Israel as described in the later books of the Bible. In this volume, Ginzberg traces Moses' last acts as the leader of the Israelites, including the events surrounding his death and the transition of leadership to Joshua. The stories blend biblical accounts with Jewish traditions, expanding on details about Moses’ farewell blessings, his viewing of the Promised Land from Mount Nebo, and his final moments before God buries him. Ginzberg also covers Joshua’s military campaigns and the Israelites’ battles to conquer Canaan, incorporating legends that highlight divine interventions, moral lessons, and the deep symbolism embedded in these events.
