	Ecclesiasticus
		The Book of Ecclesiasticus is preceded by a prologue which professes to be the work of the Greek translator of the origional Hebrew and the genuineness of which is undoubted.
		Before setting forth in a summary way the principal teachings, doctrinal and ethical, contained in the Book of Ecclesiasticus, it will not be amiss to premise two remarks which, however elementary, should be distinctly borne in mind by anyone who wished to view the doctrines of the son of Sirach in their proper light.
		Nor is the author of Ecclesiasticus anything like a misanthrope that would set himself up resolutely against the legitmate pleasures and the received customs of social life (xxxi, 12-42; xxxii, 1 sqq.); while he directs severe but just rebukes against the parasite (xxix, 28-35; xi, 29-32).

		It is probable that at least one considerable omission must be laid to his charge, for the hymn preserved in the Hebrew text after ch.
		Ancient translators allowed themselves much liberty in their work, and Ecclesiasticus possessed no reputation for canonicity in the 2nd century B.C. to serve as a protection for its text.

	Glossary
		Much of the Hebrew of Ecclesiasticus has survived in manuscripts found in the Genizah (an attic where badly worn Torah scrolls were ‘treasured’ away when retired from service) of the Ezra Synagogue in Cairo, as well as in a few fragments from the Dead Sea Scrolls.
		Ecclesiasticus defies outline in any detail, since much of it consists of short passages on a variety of topics, from how to give and attend a party to exhortations to care for the poor.
		Ecclesiasticus settles the debate in postbiblical Judaism over the dwelling place of wisdom, like Baruch 3:9-4:4, by declaring that it has been revealed to Israel by God in the moral instruction of the Law, rather than reserved in the heavens where only the specially initiated receive instruction in the secrets of the cosmos (cf.

	An Introduction to the
		As for Ecclesiasticus, I immediately noticed how similar it was to Proverbs and Ecclesiastes-but did not understand why anyone would want another, even longer collection of proverbs in one's Bible, especially one with a title so confusingly similar to Ecclesiastes.
		In the first century A.D., Ecclesiasticus was highly regarded by both Jews and Christians-although, regrettably, as time went on the Jews began to avoid this book the more Christians made use of it.
		This high esteem in which Ecclesiasticus was held is shown by numerous allusions to it throughout the New Testament.

	Ben Sira - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Wisdom of Ben Sira, (or The Wisdom of Yeshua Ben Sira or merely Sirach), formerly called Ecclesiasticus (not to be confused with Ecclesiastes) by some Christians, is a book written circa 180–175 BC.
		The author, Yeshua ben Sira, was a Jew who had been living in Jerusalem, who may in fact have established his school and written his work in Alexandria (Guillaume).
		Thus Ecclesiasticus closely resembles Proverbs, except that, unlike the latter, it is the work of a single author, not an anthology of maxims drawn from various sources.
