Excerpt from The Legends of the Jews, Vol. 3: Bible Times and Characters, From the Exodus to the Death of Moses Moses is regarded not only as the greatest religious guide of Israel, but also as its first national leader, he is the wisest of the wise, the father of the prophets. As well as king in Jeshurun, when the heads of the people and the tribes of Israel gathered together. Hence his unique position in Jew ish legend, neither Abraham, the friend of God, nor Solomon, the wisest of all men, nor Elijah, the helper in time of need. Can lay claim to such a position. Great religious and national institutions like the Sabbath, the sanctuary, and many other commandments of God te vealed to Moses stand in a special relation to his life and work. The modification of the Sabbath became quite a liv ing thing to him through the miracle of the Manna, and the first sanctuary was actually erected by Moses. The life of Moses ceased, therefore, to be a thing of the past and became closely interwoven with the every-day life of the nation.
