Wisdom and fear of God in Ben Sira 1:11–21: Second temple perspectives
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.

| Zusammenfassung: | 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. |
