| Summary | "The Legends of the Jews — Volume 2" by Louis Ginzberg is a collection of Jewish legends compiled from Biblical narratives, likely written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on key figures and events from the Bible, particularly from the story of Joseph to the Exodus. It presents a rich tapestry of myth, moral lessons, and theological reflections, exploring themes such as family dynamics, betrayal, and divine providence. At the start of this volume, the narrative centers on the story of Joseph, detailing his life as the favored son of Jacob, the hatred and jealousy of his brothers, and their plot to sell him into slavery. It portrays Joseph's trials, including his time in Potiphar's house and the temptation from Potiphar's wife, culminating in his imprisonment. The opening portion vividly illustrates deep moral and ethical dilemmas faced by the characters, alongside divine interventions that shape their destinies. As the tale unfolds, it highlights Joseph’s resilience and faithfulness, setting the stage for a broader narrative of redemption and God's overarching plan throughout the histories of Israel.
