Excerpt from The Legends of the Jews, Vol. 2 My original intention was to continue Volume II up to the death of Moses, but the legendary material clustering around the life and death of Moses is so abundant that practical con siderations demanded the division of this material, in order not to make the second volume too bulky. The division chosen is a natural one. This volume closes with the Exodus, and contains the deeds of Moses in Egypt, while the follow ing volume will deal with Moses in the desert. The fact that Job is placed between Jacob's sons and Moses may appear strange to some readers, since in the Bible Job is one of the last books, but legend is above time and space, and I have, therefore, given Job the place which legend has ascribed to him.
