Podcast appearances and mentions of Ben Sira

Hey! Easter is upon us which got me thinking of ancient lore, which brought me to the story of Lilith! This is an episode from our Patreon from 2023, but is still super interesting now! Basically, Lilith is often just remembered as Adam's first wife (of power couple Adam and Eve), but her story is so much more and probably so much OLDER than that of Adam's. Hope you enjoy!

The book of Ben Sira

Sanhedrin 100 : Marc Chipkin: 2025-03-27 Definitions of an “apikorus”. How the righteous will be able to receive the vast reward from Hashem's hand in future. The book of Ben Sira.

What is the definition of an apikoris? Several suggestions are brought, mainly related to one who does not treat the rabbis with the proper respect as it undermines belief in rabbinic Judaism. What is the definition of sefarim chitzoniyim, external literature, that if one reads them, one does not get a portion in the World-to-come, according to Rabbi Akiva? A braita says it is book of the Saducees. Rav Yosef says it is the book of Ben Sira. Abaye tries to understand what is wrong with learning it since many of the ideas there appear in the Tanach or in rabbinic thought.

One of the sages presents an interpretation, describing the beauty of a vision of a plentiful river surrounded by delightful growing things that emerges from the Holy of Holies. Others congratulate him on his teaching -- and one of those congratulations is criticized as coming from bystander who wasn't in a position to judge, and therefore was disrespectful. Except that - in contrast with a truly disrespectful response - it really wasn't. Also, the book of the Wisdom of Ben Sira -- and the phenomenon of books that were left out of the canon. Plus, some of the content of Ben Shira as part of the assessment of what is allowed.

Walking in Wisdom: Preparing for Lent with Sirach As the Catholic Church approaches the Lenten season; we stand at the threshold of a sacred time—a time to reflect on the profound mystery of our salvation and the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Lent calls us to renew our baptismal promises and deepen our spiritual journey. But why is this reflection so essential? Discover more in today's homily. A Time for Preparation Lent is a season of preparation, especially for those seeking baptism into Christ. The Church, through today's readings, imparts wisdom that arises from daily life experiences. One such reading comes from the Book of Sirach—unique among Old Testament wisdom literature because its author, Yeshua ben Eleazar ben Sira (or Ben Sira), identifies himself. His purpose is clear: to emphasize that true wisdom is found in following God's commandments. The depth of our understanding and spiritual growth is revealed through the choices we make and the way we live each day. Sirach Teaches Us About Wisdom Ben Sira teaches that wisdom is most clearly expressed in our speech. A person's words immediately reveal the depth of their understanding and character. Furthermore, he speaks of the heart—not merely as a physical organ but as the core of our authentic self. A heart rooted in truth manifests itself through acts of love, compassion, and charity. Our words and actions ultimately reflect the condition of our hearts. So, how do we care for our hearts? How do we nurture our true selves in faith and wisdom? Let us take to heart the lesson from Sirach, embracing the journey of Lent as a time for transformation and spiritual renewal. Listen to this Meditation Media.

Amen. LessonsEcclus. 3:3-9,14-17 (NRSV)A Reading from the Wisdom of Ben Sira.Those who honour their father atone for sins,   and those who respect their mother are like those who lay up treasure.Those who honour their father will have joy in their own children,   and when they pray they will be heard.Those who respect their father will have long life,   and those who honour their mother obey the Lord;   they will serve their parents as their masters.Honour your father by word and deed,   that his blessing may come upon you.For a father's blessing strengthens the houses of the children,   but a mother's curse uproots their foundations.For kindness to a father will not be forgotten,   and will be credited to you against your sins;in the day of your distress it will be remembered in your favour;   like frost in fair weather, your sins will melt away.Whoever forsakes a father is like a blasphemer,   and whoever angers a mother is cursed by the Lord. My child, perform your tasks with humility;   then you will be loved by those whom God accepts. The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Te Deum laudamusYou are God: we praise you;You are the Lord: we acclaim you;You are the eternal Father:All creation worships you.To you all angels, all the powers of heaven, Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless praise:Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,heaven and earth are full of your glory.The glorious company of apostles praise you.The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.The white-robed army of martyrs praise you. Throughout the world the holy Church acclaims you;Father, of majesty unbounded,your true and only Son, worthy of all worship, and the Holy Spirit, advocate and guide.You, Christ, are the king of glory, the eternal Son of the Father.When you became man to set us free you did not shun the Virgin's womb. You overcame the sting of deathand opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You are seated at God's right hand in glory.We believe that you will come and be our judge.Come then, Lord, and help your people, bought with the price of your own blood, and bring us with your saintsto glory everlasting. 1 John 2:12-17A Reading from the First Letter of John.I am writing to you, little children,        because your sins are forgiven for his name's sake.    I am writing to you, fathers,        because you know him who is from the beginning.    I am writing to you, young men,        because you have overcome the evil one.    I write to you, children,        because you know the Father.    I write to you, fathers,        because you know him who is from the beginning.    I write to you, young men,        because you are strong,        and the word of God abides in you,        and you have overcome the evil one.              Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For all that is in the world—the desires of the flesh and the desires of the eyes and pride of life—is not from the Father but is from the world. And the world is passing away along with its desires, but whoever does the will of God abides forever.The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. John 6:41-47A Reading from the Gospel According to John.So the Jews grumbled about him, because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is not this Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How does he now say, ‘I have come down from heaven'?” Jesus answered them, “Do not grumble among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draws him. And I will raise him up on the last day. It is written in the Prophets, ‘And they will all be taught by God.' Everyone who has heard and learned from the Father comes to me—not that anyone has seen the Father except he who is from God; he has seen the Father. Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal life.The Word of the Lord.Thanks Be To God. Benedictus Dominus DeusBlessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; * he has come to his people and set them free.He has raised up for us a mighty savior, * born of the house of his servant David.Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies, * from the hands of all who hate us. He promised to show mercy to our fathers * and to remember his holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, * to set us free from the hands of our enemies, Free to worship him without fear, * holy and righteous in his sight all the days of our life.You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, * for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way, To give his people knowledge of salvation * by the forgiveness of their sins.In the tender compassion of our God * the dawn from on high shall break upon us, To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, * and to guide our feet into the way of peace.Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. The Apostles CreedI believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The PrayersThe Lord be with you.And also with you.Let us pray.Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.

Amen.A Collect for GraceO Lord, our heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, you have brought us safely to the beginning of this day: Defend us by your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin nor run into any danger; and that, guided by your Spirit, we may do what is righteous in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Take a moment of silence at this time to reflect and pray for others. Collect of Saint BasilO Christ God, Who art worshipped and glorified at every place and time; Who art long-suffering, most merciful and compassionate; Who lovest the righteous and art merciful to sinners; Who callest all to salvation with the promise of good things to come: receive, Lord, the prayers we now offer, and direct our lives in the way of Thy commandments. Sanctify our souls, cleanse our bodies, correct our thoughts, purify our minds and deliver us from all affliction, evil and illness. Surround us with Thy holy angels, that guarded and instructed by their forces, we may reach unity of faith and the understanding of Thine unapproachable glory: for blessed art Thou unto ages of ages. Amen. A Prayer of St. John ChrysostomAlmighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. DismissalLet us bless the LordThanks be to God! The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen

Starting nearly a thousand years ago at the Ben Ezra Synagogue of Old Cairo, worn-out books and scrolls were put in the genizah, a storage area for sacred texts.  In The Illustrated Cairo Genizah: A Visual Tour of Cairo Genizah Manuscripts at Cambridge Univertity Library (Gorgias Press, 2024), Nick Posegay and Melonie Schmierer-Lee tell the story of the genizah and show the journey of discovery through more than 125 years of research, showcasing over 300 stunning full-colour images, revealing forgotten stories of Jewish, Muslim, and Christian communities over a millennium of world history. In the nineteenth century, Scottish sisters Agnes and Margaret Smith brought manuscript pages back to England where Solomon Schechter recognized the lost Hebrew book of Ben Sira, also known as Ecclesiasticus or Sirach. Schechter then traveled to Cairo and toured the genizah, an attic chamber he described as a "windowless and doorless room of fair dimensions. The entrance is ... through a big, shapeless hole reached by a ladder."  Over the millenia, hundreds and thousands of documents were buried in this attic crypt, vividly described by Schechter: "It is a battlefield of books, and the literary production of many centuries had their share in the battle ... some of the belligerents have perished outright, and are literally ground to dust in the terrible struggle for space". In addition to images of the book of Ben Sira, the collection includes fragments of the oldest known Latin edition of St Augustine's sermons, Origen's Hexapla, and a 5th or 6th century copy of Aquila's translation of Kings, approximately 60 manuscripts written by Moses Maimonides, and a medieval copy of the 'Damascus Document' which was confirmed as an ancient text by the discovery of another copy among the Dead Sea Scrolls discovered at Qumram in 1947.  See visual examples of the collection online.

2 mishnayot! First, wine that goes sour is not the seller's responsibility, unless he knew it would sour. Plus other cases where it turns out that the seller is in fact responsible (e.g., if he brags about how great the wine is before the sale and then it goes bad). Also, the difference between "old wine" and "aged wine" and "cooking wine," in terms of caliber. Second, in the event of building a small home, with modeling on the Beit HaMikdash. Plus, mention of the Wisdom of Ben Sira.

Bienvenidos al episodio 413 del 21 de julio de 2024. Algunas notas sobre Lilith: En Más Fe: https://masfe.org/temas/para-meditar/lilith-esposa-adan/ 1. Lo que dicen: "Lilith tenía un espíritu más independiente" La verdad: Adán y Lilit nunca hallaron armonía juntos, pues cuando él deseaba tener relaciones sexuales con ella, Lilit se sentía ofendida por la postura acostada que él le exigía. «¿Por qué he de acostarme debajo de ti? —preguntaba—: yo también fui hecha con polvo, y por lo tanto soy tu igual». Como Adán trató de obligarla a obedecer, Lilit, encolerizada, pronunció el nombre mágico de Dios, se elevó por los aires y lo abandonó. 2. Lo que dicen: "Lilith se fue y engendró a los demonios con los angeles caídos" La verdad: Yahvéh formó entonces a Lilit, la primera mujer, del mismo modo que había formado a Adán. De la unión de Adán con esta hembra, y con otra parecida llamada Naamá, hermana de Tubalcaín, nacieron Asmodeo e innumerables demonios que todavía atormentan a la humanidad. Muchas generaciones después, Lilit y Naamá se presentaron ante el tribunal de Salomón disfrazadas como rameras de Jerusalén. Y, "dice que Lilith estaba en perpetuo conflicto con su marido porque se negaba a obedecerle y, finalmente, escapó o fue «desterrada» del Jardín del Edén y prefirió vivir con los demonios antes que volver con Adán". 3. Lo que dicen: "Dios creó a Eva de su costilla" En realidad, la historia de Lilith trata de explicar la contradicción en las historias de la creación: En Génesis 1 dice que Dios creó al hombre y a la mujer al mismo tiempo; Génesis 2 dice que creó a Eva de la costilla de Adán. 4. Lo que dicen, "Lilith no sale en la Biblia" En realidad, se considera que Isaías 34:14 habla sobre Lilith, "Las fieras del desierto se encontrarán con las hienas, y la cabra salvaje gritará a su compañero; la lechuza también tendrá allí morada, y hallará para sí reposo". La lechuza es, por supuesto, Lilith 5. Lo que dicen, "Dios no se pudo equivocar" Pero Génesis dice que dios se arrepintió de hacer al hombre y por eso mató a la humanidad entera. Lo que dicen en el texto, "Lilith era promiscua" En realidad no hay evidencia de esto, solo que no quería ser dominada al tener sexo abajo 6. Lo que dicen en el texto, "En aquel momento, en el Alfabeto de Rabí Aqiba, un registro muy antiguo, se nos habla de ella. Lilith era su compañera, sin embargo, representaba todo lo que es promiscuo. Ella no quería casarse… esa era Lilith. La realidad,  Creación: Según el "Alfabeto de Ben-Sira", Lilith fue creada del mismo suelo que Adán, lo que los hacía iguales. Conflicto: Surgió un conflicto entre Adán y Lilith sobre su relación. Lilith insistía en ser tratada como una igual y se negaba a ser subyugada por Adán, especialmente en sus relaciones íntimas. Partida: Frustrada por la insistencia de Adán en la dominación, Lilith pronunció el Nombre Inefable de Dios y voló al Mar Rojo, dejando a Adán. Consecuencias: Luego, Dios creó a Eva a partir de la costilla de Adán, una creación que supuestamente aseguraba su subordinación a Adán. Lilith, habiendo dejado el Edén, a menudo es retratada como convirtiéndose en una demonio y se asocia con varias leyendas y mitos. Puntos Clave: - Igualdad y Subyugación: El "Alfabeto de Ben-Sira" enfatiza que la negativa de Lilith a casarse con Adán estaba basada en su deseo de igualdad y su rechazo a ser subyugada. - Partida y Transformación: La partida de Lilith y su posterior demonización reflejan las consecuencias de su negativa a conformarse con las expectativas de Adán y las normas sociales de la época. Esta historia ha sido interpretada de diversas maneras, a menudo destacando temas de independencia, autonomía y la lucha por la igualdad. La representación de Lilith en este texto también la ha convertido en una figura importante en las discusiones sobre roles de género e interpretaciones feministas de la mitología. Entonces, ¿promiscuidad? Tal vez Nibley está reflejando las ideas conservadoras de su iglesia cuando dice que una mujer que quiere ser igual es promiscua. 

Reading by Andrea Sims. Chapters 16-32. Translation: את CEPHER(7.28.24)The Book of Sirach, also known as Ecclesiasticus, is a collection of ethical teachings from around 200-175 BCE, authored by Yeshua ben Sira. It is one of the seven wisdom books in the Septuagint, along with Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, Song of Solomon, Job, and Wisdom of Solomon. As a deuterocanonical book, it is part of the Apocrypha. Sirach emphasizes wisdom, moral conduct, and the importance of following the Torah. It addresses various themes such as humility, friendship, family life, and the pursuit of wisdom, drawing heavily from earlier biblical texts, particularly Proverbs. The book also praises the heroes of Hebrew history, highlighting their faith and virtue. Sirach aims to provide practical advice for living a righteous life and fostering a strong community.Sirach chapters 16-32 cover a wide range of teachings and wisdom on various aspects of life. These chapters emphasize the importance of wisdom, righteousness, and the fear of Yahuah. They discuss the consequences of sin and the importance of seeking wisdom over folly. The text advises on the proper conduct in different situations, such as speech, relationships, and leadership. It also highlights the unpredictability of life and the need for discernment in judging others. The author, Ben Sira, encourages humility, respect for elders, and living a life that honors Yah. These chapters serve as a guide for moral and ethical behavior, stressing that true wisdom comes from Yahuah and leads to a blessed life.Sacred Scriptures Playlist || https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLJw-8eghT-ZK7KDY5o_nU6ySye7CJKrAk*Download the Fiery Faith Ministries App*https://get.theapp.co/2nmm*Non-Profit Fundraisers*https://www.bonfire.com/store/fiery-faith-ministrieshttps://www.givesendgo.com/fiery_faith*Like & Subscribe*https://www.youtube.com/@fieryfaithhttps://www.instagram.com/fieryfaithministrieshttps://www.facebook.com/fieryfaithministrieshttps://www.twitter.com/FieryFaith144*Website*https://www.fieryfaithministries.com*Blogs*https://www.fieryfaithministries.com/blog*Email*shalom@fieryfaithministries.comprayer@fieryfaithministries.com*Telegram*Fiery Faith Ministries | https://t.me/+6lf5W12zEF81MjhhWatchmen of the Wall | https://t.me/+J3iYvO1bL3JjYWIxPrayer Room | https://t.me/+vUGzK_-TXBYwNDdh*Bless this Ministry*SUBSPLASH: https://subsplash.com/u/fieryfaithministries/givePAYPAL: https://paypal.me/JamesCaruthersVENMO: https://account.venmo.com/u/JamesCaruthers791

In this episode, we explore the Book of Ben Sira with Dr. Panc Beentjes, who shares the importance and nuance of studying the Hebrew manuscripts of the book. He provides an overview of Ben Sira's significance, discusses the unique introduction by Ben Sira's grandson, and explains the importance of the Hebrew manuscripts. Dr. Beentjes also touches on intriguing aspects like the potential reference to Job as a prophet and reads some of his favorite sections of the book.Dr. Beentjes is Professor Emeritus of Tilburg School of Catholic University in the Netherlands. He has written a number of books and approximately 200 academic articles, most focusing on the important book of Ben Sira. One of his most important books is “The Book of Ben Sira in Hebrew” which presented the precise layout of the Hebrew of the various manuscripts for the first time in book form.

Cette semaine, La Foi prise au mot renoue avec notre longue série d'émissions qui cherchent à mieux connaître certains livres de la Bible que nous lisons peu et que nous connaissons mal. Nous vous proposons de partir à la découverte du livre de la Sagesse. Ce texte, rangé dans nos bibles à la fin de l'Ancien Testament, est bien mystérieux : on a tendance à le confondre avec le livre des Proverbes ou celui de Ben Sira. Alors, que contient le livre de la Sagesse ? Quand a-t-il été écrit et dans quel but ? A-t-il encore quelque chose à nous dire aujourd'hui ? Pour répondre à ces questions, nous retrouvons deux invités : le père Pierre Dumoulin, bibliste, prêtre au diocèse de Marseille, membre de l'Institut catholique de la Méditerranée, et le père Bertrand Pinçon, prêtre du diocèse de Lyon et doyen de la faculté de théologie à l'université catholique de Lyon.

Lilith is a demonic figure of Jewish folklore. According to Mesopotamian and Judaic mythology, she is theorized to be the first wife of Adam who was banished from the Garden of Eden for disobeying her husband. Her character transcended folklore to become a mainstay in popular culture as well as serving as a symbol for female independence.   Further Reading: Lilith - Jewish Women's Archive  Lilith - Seductress, heroine or murderer? Alphabet of Ben Sira 78: Lilith From Eden to Ednah: Lilith in the Garden This month, we're talking about Goddesses: mythical figures who have shaped culture, history, and imagination around the world. History classes can get a bad rap, and sometimes for good reason. When we were students, we couldn't help wondering... where were all the ladies at? Why were so many incredible stories missing from the typical curriculum? Enter, Womanica. On this Wonder Media Network podcast we explore the lives of inspiring women in history you may not know about, but definitely should. Every weekday, listeners explore the trials, tragedies, and triumphs of groundbreaking women throughout history who have dramatically shaped the world around us. In each 5 minute episode, we'll dive into the story behind one woman listeners may or may not know–but definitely should. These diverse women from across space and time are grouped into easily accessible and engaging monthly themes like Educators, Villains, Indigenous Storytellers, Activists, and many more.  Womanica is hosted by WMN co-founder and award-winning journalist Jenny Kaplan. The bite-sized episodes pack painstakingly researched content into fun, entertaining, and addictive daily adventures.  Womanica was created by Liz Kaplan and Jenny Kaplan, executive produced by Jenny Kaplan, and produced by Grace Lynch, Maddy Foley, Brittany Martinez, Edie Allard, Lindsey Kratochwill, Adesuwa Agbonile, Carmen Borca-Carrillo, Taylor Williamson, Sara Schleede, Paloma Moreno Jimenez, and Abbey Delk.

Qu'est-ce qu'un ami véritable ? Dans cette émission, nous poursuivons la découverte des écrits étonnants de Ben Sira le Sage. Au chapitre 6, il détaille comment se gagne la confiance, et pourquoi un ami peut devenir un trésor inestimable.

La Bible contiendrait-elle un manuel de savoir-vivre ? Presque ! Le Livre de Ben Sira le Sage sera bien utile en ces temps de fête. Loin de dicter des règles de bienséance, il illustre combien un banquet abondant ne vaut rien si la fraternité déserte la table.

Michael P. Farrell's Collaborative Circles: Friendship Dynamics and Creative Work (2001) describes how groups of people follow a trajectory from vague dislike of the status quo, to a sharpened criticism of it, to a shared vision (and supporting techniques) intended to displace it. The development of so-called "lightweight processes" in the 1990s can be viewed through that lens. I drag in a little discussion of binary oppositions as used in Lévi-Strauss's Structural Anthropology (1963) and later work.MentionedThe first NATO Software Engineering Conference, 1968The SAGE air-defense networkDavid L.

El libro más citado en fuentes contemporáneas sobre Lilith es también el menos fiable. Un libro medieval llamado El alfabeto de Ben Sira que afirma que Dios creó a Adán y Lilith al mismo tiempo del polvo de la tierra. Según este libro, Lilith se negó a subordinarse a Adán en su relación íntima y huyó de él. Los ángeles intentaron obligarla a regresar, y ella se defendió y se negó a ir con Adán. La historia continúa diciendo que Dios entonces hizo de Adán una segunda esposa, Eva, quien se contentó con quedarse con Adán.Acompáñame a expandir la mente con este episodio y descubramos quien fue Lilith.Sígueme en redes sociales

Ben Sira (also known as Sirach or Ecclesiasticus) is one of our most important sources of ancient Hebrew literature. It is also one of 7 books that belong to the Apocrypha/Deuterocanonical books of the Bible. This great source from second temple Judaism has played an important role to the Christianity since the early church. Our guest, Peter Beckman, is completing his PhD at Saint Paul University in Ottawa, Ontario and is a pastor at a Lutheran church. We discuss a number of topics: The placement (or lack thereof) of Ben Sira in the biblical canon The different names for the book and what they show The author of Ben Sira The differences between the Hebrew and Greek versions The purpose, style, and message of the book of Ben Sira The unique prologue to the Greek version of Ben Sira How Ben Sira navigates challenges that people of faith deal with today How Ben Sira interprets Scripture The “canon consciousness” of Ben Sira We have a little debate about literacy and the target audience of Ben Sira How has the book of Ben Sira been used in the church throughout history up to today in different denominations How all wisdom should lead to worship and prayer WHERE TO FIND US Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/hebrewbibleinsights YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLRSNQ7xVw7PjQ5FnqYmSDA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_hebrewbibleinsights/ TikTok: www.tiktok.com/@hebrewbibleinsights Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/HebrewBibleInsights Website: https://www.hebrewbibleinsights.com --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/matthew9793/support

The Book of Ecclesiasticus is a Jewish work originally in Hebrew from approximately 200 to 175 BCE, written by the Jewish scribe Ben Sira of Jerusalem, on the inspiration of his father Joshua son of Sirach. In Egypt, it was translated into Greek by the author's unnamed grandson, who added a prologue. This prologue is generally considered the earliest witness to a canon of the books of the prophets, and thus the date of the text is the subject of intense scrutiny. The book itself is the largest wisdom book from antiquity to have survived. Thanks for listening!

This week’s learning is sponsored for the refuah shleima of Hannah bat Peninah. Today’s daf is sponsored by Adina Gewirtz in honor of her husband, Danny. “He encouraged me to start daf yomi when he started the new cycle. Thank you for opening the world of Gemara to me!” Rabbi Elazar makes seven statements – some of them having to do with marriage and the importance for a man to have a good wife, some having to do with the importance of owning land or the value of investments. Better to eat your own produce than to be reliant on buying from others. Other financial and marriage advice is mentioned. Some stories are told of relationships between rabbis and their wives. What is considered a “good wife” and what is considered a “bad wife”? One who is married to a bad wife and her ketuba sum is large is in a difficult predicament. A number of verses are brought that highlight this predicament or other difficult situations. Quotes from the book of Ben Sira are brought relating to “good” and “bad” wives. A number of statements are brought regarding the severity of not bringing children into the world. Even though Ben Azai viewed it as a very serious issue, he did not marry as he spent his life exclusively learning Torah and left the mitzva of having children to others.

Read a little more about George Athas's upcoming book Bridging The Testaments (Zondervan Academic) in this article he wrote for Eternity News. Read George's PhD thesis, The Tel Dan Inscription (Sheffield Academic Press) which focused on the amazing 1993 discovery in Galilee of an inscription mentioning the dynasty of king David (of David and Goliath fame) - it's likely the first mention of David outside the Bible.  Here's an interesting New York Times article about Jewish communities in Myanmar and India who claim to be descendants of the lost tribes of Israel. Find out more about the archaeological evidence we have for the destruction of the Jerusalem Temple ('the first temple') by the Babylonians in 586 BC. Take a look at the Cyrus Cylinder, housed in the British Museum, which features an inscription mentioning how wonderful the Persian King Cyrus is, of course, but also that he allowed certain subjugated peoples - like the Jews - to return to their homelands and restore their own temples. So, what's The Talmud? Here's an introduction.

Take a look at Herod's Temple, the 'Second Temple'.And also, this article about the engineering feat of the temple and those massive foundation stones. Josephus records:  Herod announced, "I know the Jews will greet my death with wild rejoicings; but I can be mourned on other people's account and make sure of a magnificent funeral if you will do as I tell you. These men under guard — as soon as I die, kill them all…." Salome disobeyed, and released the prisoners when Herod died, Josephus added. Herod died a very painful death, and his symptoms were recorded in detail.

Read this analysis from Zondervan Academic and John Walton. This is a really indepth article on the challenges in dating the Book of Daniel, from The Gospel Coalition. Here's the verse in the Book of Jude that references the apocryphal text 1 Enoch. Here's what John Dickson said about that reference in the episode: "This isn't necessarily because Jude thought 1 Enoch was Old Testament Scripture - it wasn't! - but he did think it made an excellent theological point - about the coming judgment of God - and so it was worth citing with approval. " Here are some readings from the so-called 'intertestamental texts':  From the Book of 1 Maccabees:1Mac. 4:30-43   When he saw that their army was strong, he prayed, saying, “Blessed are you, O Savior of Israel, who crushed the attack of the mighty warrior by the hand of your servant David, and gave the camp of the Philistines into the hands of Jonathan son of Saul, and of the man who carried his armor. 31 Hem in this army by the hand of your people Israel, and let them be ashamed of their troops and their cavalry. 32 Fill them with cowardice; melt the boldness of their strength; let them tremble in their destruction. 33 Strike them down with the sword of those who love you, and let all who know your name praise you with hymns.”1Mac. 4:34   Then both sides attacked, and there fell of the army of Lysias five thousand men; they fell in action.a 35 When Lysias saw the rout of his troops and observed the boldness that inspired those of Judas, and how ready they were either to live or to die nobly, he withdrew to Antioch and enlisted mercenaries in order to invade Judea again with an even larger army.Cleansing and Dedication of the Temple1Mac. 4:36   Then Judas and his brothers said, “See, our enemies are crushed; let us go up to cleanse the sanctuary and dedicate it.” 37 So all the army assembled and went up to Mount Zion. 38 There they saw the sanctuary desolate, the altar profaned, and the gates burned. In the courts they saw bushes sprung up as in a thicket, or as on one of the mountains. They saw also the chambers of the priests in ruins. 39 Then they tore their clothes and mourned with great lamentation; they sprinkled themselves with ashes 40 and fell face down on the ground. And when the signal was given with the trumpets, they cried out to Heaven.1Mac. 4:41   Then Judas detailed men to fight against those in the citadel until he had cleansed the sanctuary. 42 He chose blameless priests devoted to the law, 43 and they cleansed the sanctuary and removed the defiled stones to an unclean place. From the Book of 1 Enoch:1Enoch 1:1-10 - The word of blessing of Enoch, as he blessed the elect and righteous, who will be present in the day of distress, when all the enemies are removed, and the righteous will be saved. 2 And he took up his parable and said: “Enoch is a righteous person, to whom a vision from God was opened to him, having the vision of the Holy one and of the heaven. It was shown to me, and I heard the holy messengers, and as I heard from them everything and understood I saw, but I was not considering the present generation, but I speak to one being distant. 3 and concerning the present elect I said, and concerning them I raised my parable: My great holy one will go forth from his habitation, 4 and the God of eternity will walk upon the earth, upon Mount Sinai and he will appear from his camp, and he will appear in the power of his might from the heaven of heavens. 5 And all will be afraid and the Watchers will believe, and they will sing hidden things to all the heights of the [earth]. And all the heights of the earth will shake, and trembling will take hold of them and great fear up to the ends of the earth. 6 And the mountain will be shaken and will fall and will be scattered, and the high and lofty mountains will be brought low, to be passed, and they will melt as wax before a fire in flame. 7 And the earth will be torn asunder (into) a split crevice, and all that is on the earth will be destroyed, and judgment will be upon all. 8 And with the righteous he will make peace, and upon the elect will be preservation and peace, and mercy will be given to them, and all will be of God, and he will give approval to them and he will bless all, and he will take hold of all, and he will help me, and light will appear to them and upon them he will make peace. 9 He comes with his myriads and with his holy ones, to make judgment against all, and he will destroy all the ungodly, and convict all flesh about all works of their ungodliness which they in an ungodly way committed and the harsh words which they have spoken. From Ben SiraBen Sira 2:1-18. My child, when you come to serve the Lord, prepare yourself for testing. 2 Set your heart right and be steadfast, and do not be impetuous in time of calamity.3 Cling to him and do not depart, so that your last days may be prosperous.4 Accept whatever befalls you, and in times of humiliation be patient.5 For gold is tested in the fire, and those found acceptable, in the furnace of humiliation. 6 Trust in him, and he will help you; make your ways straight, and hope in him.7 You who fear the Lord, wait for his mercy; do not stray, or else you may fall.8 You who fear the Lord, trust in him, and your reward will not be lost.9 You who fear the Lord, hope for good things, for lasting joy and mercy. 10 Consider the generations of old and see: has anyone trusted in the Lord and been disappointed? Or has anyone persevered in the fear of the Lord and been forsaken? Or has anyone called upon him and been neglected?11 For the Lord is compassionate and merciful; he forgives sins and saves in time of distress.12 Woe to timid hearts and to slack hands, and to the sinner who walks a double path!13 Woe to the fainthearted who have no trust! Therefore they will have no shelter.14 Woe to you who have lost your nerve! What will you do when the Lord's reckoning comes?15 Those who fear the Lord do not disobey his words, and those who love him keep his ways.16 Those who fear the Lord seek to please him, and those who love him are filled with his law.17 Those who fear the Lord prepare their hearts, and humble themselves before him.18 Let us fall into the hands of the Lord, but not into the hands of mortals; for equal to his majesty is his mercy, and equal to his name are his works. From the Dead Sea Scrolls, the so called Messianic Apocalypse which was discovered in Cave 4 at Qumran (scrolls were scattered across eleven caves at the site). Though fragmentary, the passage powerfully expresses the Jewish hope for a Messiah, an eternal kingdom and the healings and good news promised centuries earlier by the prophet Isaiah:"… the earth will listen to his anointed one (mashiach /messiah) [and all] that is in them will not turn away from the precepts of the holy ones … For he [the Lord] will honour the pious upon the upon the throne of an eternal kingdom, freeing prisoners, giving sight to the blind, straightening out the twis[ted.] … And the Lord will perform marvellous acts such as have not existed, just as he sa[id,] [for] he will heal the badly wounded and will make the dead live, he will proclaim good news to the poor." 4Q521. OK... now, who are the Essenes?  The Sadducees? The Pharisees? The Zealots? Read again Luke 4:16 - 21:16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up.  And as was his custom, he went to the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and he stood up to read. 17 And the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was given to him. He unrolled the scroll and found the place where it was written, 18  “The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,because he has anointed meto proclaim good news to the poor.He has sent me to proclaim liberty to the captivesand recovering of sight to the blind,to set at liberty those who are oppressed, 19  to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.”20 And he rolled up the scroll and gave it back to the attendant and sat down. And the eyes of all in the synagogue were fixed on him. 21 And he began to say to them, “Today this Scripture has been fulfilled in your hearing.”

The Hebrew Bible contains one story of human failure after another, leaving us with no doubt in our minds: humanity desperately needs a leader. In this episode, Tim walks us through the structure of the Hebrew Bible and how it shows us Jonah is an anti-leader, the opposite of what humanity needs, whose failure prepares us for the ultimate leader and Savior, Jesus. This is a sneak peek into our free graduate-level course on Jonah, which will be featured in the new Classroom resource available in 2022.View full show notes from this episode →Timestamps Part one (0:00-19:40)Part two (19:40-27:30)Part three (27:30-42:30)Part four (42:30-end)Referenced ResourcesInterested in more?

Lilith is commonly referenced as Queen of the Night, Queen of Demons, or The first "Eve." There are two creation stories in Genesis and Lilith satisfies the solution to reconcile them. We will be visiting the Genesis Rabbah, Alphabet of Ben Sira, the Zohar, and the Kav ha Yashar to understand how Lilith's story came to be.  Image is Burney Relief, Babylon (1800-1750 BCE).

Nel libro del Siracide, l'autore, Ben Sira, uno scriba di Gerusalemme, cerca di preservare lo spirito religioso del suo popolo dalle influenze della cultura dominante di allora. Ben Sira crede fermamente che la Parola di Dio e la Legge abbiamo molto da dire in ogni momento della storia e, per questo motivo, gli insegnamenti, contenuti nel libro, si misurano con tutte le condizioni della vita degli uomini e delle donne. Nel capitolo 35 in particolare si sofferma sulla giustizia divina, affermando la propria certezza che Dio è vicino all'orfano e alla vedova, perché "La preghiera del povero attraversa le nubi". www.santegidio.org

breve comentário bíblico e teológico | António | Lisboa, 12 e 13 de Junho de 2019. Ben Sira 39,8-14 e Mateus 5,13-19. © Mammal Hands, Shadow Work (2017) - Near Far António Pedro Monteiro

"In Genesis 1.27 it says God created mankind male and female and he created them, which appears to suggest they were created at the same time. Some online sites suggests that Adam had a first wife Lilith. Then in Genesis 2 it explains that God created Eve from Adam as his helper." Judaism * Lilith is a figure in Jewish mythology, developed earliest in the Babylonian Talmud (3rd to 5th century AD). * Alphabet of Ben Sira is considered to be the oldest form of the story of Lilith as Adam's first wife. 8th-10th centuries CE. Mud before rib. “Desert creatures will meet with hyenas, and wild goats will bleat to each other; there the night creatures [lilit] will also lie down and find for themselves places of rest.” (Isaiah 34:14 NIV11) * Cannot form a doctrine from one word in one verse which has nothing to do with Adam & Eve Gen 1 - big picture Gen 2 - zooming in to a place “So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them.” (Genesis 1:27 NIV11) "We got married and had two children.” * No time described * No order regarding the children described “Then the LORD God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being.” (Genesis 2:7 NIV11) "The naming of the animals, a scene which portrays man as monarch of all he surveys, poignantly reveals him as a social being, made for fellowship, not power: he will not live until he loves, giving himself away (24) to another on his own level. So the woman is presented wholly as his partner and counterpart; nothing is yet said of her as childbearer. She is valued for herself alone.” Kidner, Derek. Genesis: An Introduction and Commentary. TOTC 1. IVP/Accordance electronic edition, version 2.3. Downers Grove: InterVarsity Press, 1967. “Then the LORD God made a woman from the rib he had taken out of the man, and he brought her to the man. The man said, “This is now bone of my bones and flesh of my flesh; she shall be called ‘woman,’ for she was taken out of man.” That is why a man leaves his father and mother and is united to his wife, and they become one flesh. Adam and his wife were both naked, and they felt no shame.” (Genesis 2:22–25 NIV11) “This at last…” NRSV "They were both naked, they needed no cloaths for defense against cold or heat, for neither could be injurious to them: they needed none for ornament. Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these. Nay, they needed none for decency, they were naked, and had no reason to be ashamed. They knew not what shame was, so the Chaldee reads it. Blushing is now the colour of virtue, but it was not the colour of innocency.” Wesley, John. Wesley’s Notes on the Bible. Accordance electronic edition, version 1.3.

The Book of Jubilees was preserved by the Ethiopian Orthodox. Until the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, it was held to be a parody of Jewish thought. Now we know the book was immensely popular with Jews and Christians until the early Middle Ages. The book re-writes Genesis and Exodus. Jubilees claims a higher authority than those books. It creates a new sacred calendar, and invents the figure we call Satan. I also have something to say about that odious book written at the same time, the Wisdom of Ben Sira.

Defining an Apikorus; great reward for Torah learning; the bad and the good of Ben Sira.

In this week’s episode, we continue with Ben Sira and how the book of Ben Sira reflects a range of views on sin. What can this teach us about context in ancient texts? Listen and find out! The post #18: Ben Sira — The Context of Sin and the Beauty of Pairs appeared first on Understanding Sin and Evil.

In this episode we discuss Ben Sira, and how his approach to the evil inclination is a predecessor of a prominent modern understanding of the “problem” of sin. What does it mean to believe in a God who created humans and hates sin, while acknowledging that people still “like” to sin? … The post #17: Between Fire and Water: The Evil Inclination and Free Will in Ben Sira appeared first on Understanding Sin and Evil.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls revealed a world of early Jewish writing larger than the Bible, from multiple versions of biblical texts to revealed books not found in our canon. Despite this diversity, the way we read Second Temple Jewish literature remains constrained by two anachronistic categories: a theological one, Bible and a bibliographic one, book. The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity (Oxford UP, 2016) suggests ways of thinking about how Jews understood their own literature before these categories had emerged. In many Jewish texts, there is an awareness of a vast tradition of divine writings found in multiple locations that is only partially revealed in available scribal collections. Ancient heroes such as David are imagined not simply as scriptural authors, but as multidimensional characters who come to be known as great writers who are honored as founders of growing textual traditions. Scribes recognize the divine origin of texts such as the Enoch literature and other writings revealed to ancient patriarchs, which present themselves not as derivative of the material that we now call biblical, but prior to it. Sacred writing stretches back to the dawn of time, yet new discoveries are always around the corner. Using familiar sources such as the Psalms, Ben Sira, and Jubilees, Eva Mroczek tells an unfamiliar story about sacred writing not bound in the Bible. In listening to the way ancient writers describe their own literature rife with their own metaphors and narratives about writing The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity also argues for greater suppleness in our own scholarly imagination, no longer bound by modern canonical and bibliographic assumptions. The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity is already making its mark on the study of Jewish Antiquity and biblical studies broadly conceived. A panel of scholars recently convened at the annual Society of Biblical Literature meeting to discuss the impact of the work on the study of Second Temple literature. And It was announced just this week that Dr. Mroczek's work was awarded the prestigious Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise. The accolade if given by the University of Heidelberg.

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls revealed a world of early Jewish writing larger than the Bible, from multiple versions of biblical texts to revealed books not found in our canon. Despite this diversity, the way we read Second Temple Jewish literature remains constrained by two anachronistic categories: a theological one, Bible and a bibliographic one, book. The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity (Oxford UP, 2016) suggests ways of thinking about how Jews understood their own literature before these categories had emerged. In many Jewish texts, there is an awareness of a vast tradition of divine writings found in multiple locations that is only partially revealed in available scribal collections. Ancient heroes such as David are imagined not simply as scriptural authors, but as multidimensional characters who come to be known as great writers who are honored as founders of growing textual traditions. Scribes recognize the divine origin of texts such as the Enoch literature and other writings revealed to ancient patriarchs, which present themselves not as derivative of the material that we now call biblical, but prior to it. Sacred writing stretches back to the dawn of time, yet new discoveries are always around the corner. Using familiar sources such as the Psalms, Ben Sira, and Jubilees, Eva Mroczek tells an unfamiliar story about sacred writing not bound in the Bible. In listening to the way ancient writers describe their own literature rife with their own metaphors and narratives about writing The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity also argues for greater suppleness in our own scholarly imagination, no longer bound by modern canonical and bibliographic assumptions. The Literary Imagination in Jewish Antiquity is already making its mark on the study of Jewish Antiquity and biblical studies broadly conceived. A panel of scholars recently convened at the annual Society of Biblical Literature meeting to discuss the impact of the work on the study of Second Temple literature. And It was announced just this week that Dr. Mroczek’s work was awarded the prestigious Manfred Lautenschlaeger Award for Theological Promise. The accolade if given by the University of Heidelberg.
