Abstract

While Ben Sira’s poem on wisdom and fear of God (Sir 1:11–21) draws on earlier texts from the Hebrew Bible, it transfers the rewards for wisdom (Prov 1–9) and the blessings for Torah obedience (Deut 30:15–16) onto the fear of the Lord. The poem also exhibits parallels to some Dead Sea Scroll texts, including the Qumran Wisdom Admonition (4Q185) and the Treatise on the Two Spirits from the Community Rule (1QS III, 13–IV, 26). Since Sir 1:14 teaches that wisdom has been given in the womb to the faithful Jews, the “eternal foundation” (1:15) may be a reference to the Jerusalem temple.

本·西拉书1:11-21:第二圣殿的观点

虽然本·西拉关于智慧和敬畏上帝的诗（Sir 1:11-21）借鉴了希伯来圣经的早期文本，但它将对智慧的奖励（Prov 1-9）和对托拉顺从的祝福（Deut 30:15-16）转移到了对上帝的敬畏上。这首诗还展示了一些死海卷轴文本的相似之处，包括《库姆兰智慧训诫》（4Q185）和《论共同体统治中的两种精神》（1QS III，13-IV，26）。由于Sir 1:14教导说，智慧在子宫里就被赋予了忠诚的犹太人，“永恒的基础”（1:15）可能是指耶路撒冷圣殿。

期刊介绍： The last twenty years have witnessed some remarkable achievements in the study of early Jewish literature. Given the ever-increasing number and availability of primary sources for these writings, specialists have been producing text-critical, historical, social scientific, and theological studies which, in turn, have fuelled a growing interest among scholars, students, religious leaders, and the wider public. The only English journal of its kind, Journal for the Study of the Pseudepigrapha was founded in 1987 to provide a much-needed forum for scholars to discuss and review most recent developments in this burgeoning field in the academy.
