Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Expositor, Vol. 4 There is no need to dilate in this Review on the importance of the Hebrew text of Ecclesiasticus. As every student of the Bible knows, the older Sirach wrote his Wisdom in the Hebrew language, but unfortunately the original has long ago disappeared, whilst the best versions of it - as such are usually considered the Greek, the Syriac, and the Vetus Latina, from which all the later renderings are derived - are in a very unsatisfactory state, owing chiefly to imperfect acquaintance on the part of the translators with the Hebrew language. Thus it is only the restoration of the Original which would give us back the real Sirach. The readers of the Expositor, who still remember the controversy between Prof. Margoliouth and Professors Cheyne, Driver and Noldeke in this Review, know also how decisive a fact such a restoration would form in the questions which are now exciting every Bible student. For instance, if it could be proved that Sirach, who flourished about 200 B.C., composed his work, as some believe, in the Rabbinic idiom, with which we are acquainted from the Talmudic literature, "then between Ecclesiasticus and the books of the Old Testament there must lie centuries, nay, there must lie, in most cases, the deep waters of the Captivity, the grave of the Old-Hebrew and the old Israel, and the womb of the New-Hebrew and the new Israel." The assumption of Maccabæan Psalms, and many another hypothesis of Bible-Criticism would fall to the ground.
