The Legends of the Jews — Volume 3
The Legends of the Jews — Volume 3, authored by Louis Ginzberg and translated from German by Paul Radin, was likely written in the early 20th century. This volume recounts the Israelites' journey from Egypt to the death of Moses, emphasizing his role as a leader and prophet. It explores pivotal events such as the Exodus, the parting of the Red Sea, and the provision of manna, while intertwining moral and theological lessons central to Jewish tradition. The work serves as both a retelling of biblical narratives and a commentary on Jewish faith and identity.

“The dolphins are half man and half fish; they even have sexual intercourse with human beings; therefore they are called also "sons of the sea," for in a sense they represent the human kind in the waters.[163]””
