Čtvrtý díl Legend Židů přináší fascinující příběhy, proroctví a teologické úvahy, které mnozí znalci Písma dosud neznali. Obsahuje například příběh o Jozuovi, který byl pozřen velrybou, a o Mojžíšovi, jenž použil kouzla k posílení Jozuova intelektu. Izraelští zvědové jsou zde zobrazeni jako andělé, kteří se objevují a mizí podle své vůle. Vize Kenaze, že svět bude existovat jen sedm tisíc let, a město Lúz, které zůstalo nedotčeno Sancheríbem a Nebúkadnésarem, jsou dalšími zajímavými tématy. Dále se dozvídáme, že proroci se rodili svým matkám v sedmém měsíci těhotenství, a že Abnérova matka viděla Samuela, ale neslyšela jeho slova. Příběhy obsahují také zajímavé detaily o Šalomounovi, jehož vláda zahrnovala nejen lidi, ale i zvířata a duchy. Po zasvěcení Chrámu se poprvé nedostavily deště, které bičovaly zemi od Potopy. Kniha končí příběhem královny Ester, jejíž činy vrhají světlo do temných období dějin Izraele. Židé za Achašveróšových časů se ocitali v nebezpečí, čelili Hamanovým výzvám k vyhlazení, a přesto se snažili najít bezpečí a naději.
