Rabbi Louis Ginzberg was one of the outstanding Talmudists of the twentieth century. He was born on November 28, 1873, in Kovno, Lithuania; he died on November 11, 1953, in New York City. Ginzberg taught at the Jewish Theological seminary from 1903 to 1953. For 50 years, he trained two generations of Conservative Rabbis.
The Legends of the Jews is an epic 7-volume compilation of traditional Jewish stories loosely related to the Bible. Over the millennia, these stories, which expand on the Bible, flesh out the lives of biblical figures. In the process, they help bring to life the Bible's valuable lessons.
The Legends of the Jews has been called a monumental work of scholarship. It is studied by serious students of both Judaism and Christianity. And yet the stories continue to be accessible and understood by all. They were designed to impart lessons of the Torah, and any child or adult will find much to enjoy about this work.

the constant change up of narrators is annoying, so is the occasional mispronounction of words. other than that its alot of fun to listen to these stories.
The One Nerd

It is sad that the Jewish Messiah has already come in Jesus Christ but the Jews still expect him, and believe that a human can save you. And blood represents salvation, such as in the blood of the Lamb Jesus (Yeshua) the Messiah. Thees story's are fascinating but out of a Christian perspective thees stories are not what one would call biblical, a little like the apokrifical books interesting spiritual literature which tell us about other things outside of the Bible like the fact that the leviathan is apparently Kosher because the righteous will eat him as a delicacy after the end times.

Keep in mind that these stories are not scripture but legends.
