“Be stedfast in your covenant, and be conversant therein, and wax old in your work. Marvel not at the works of sinners; but trust in Yahuah, and abide in your labor: for it is an easy thing in the sight of Yahuah on the sudden to make a poor man rich. The blessing of Yahuah is in the reward of the holy, and suddenly he makes his blessing flourish. Say not, What profit is there of my service? and what good things shall I have hereafter? Again, say not, I have enough, and possess many things, and what evil shall I have hereafter? In the day of prosperity there is a forgetfulness of affliction: and in the day of affliction there is no more remembrance of prosperity.” SIRACH (ECCLESIASTICUS) 11:20-25 את CEPHER https://linktr.ee/wilsonryan__

“Better is the poor, being sound and strong of constitution, than a rich man that is afflicted in his body. Health and good estate of body are above all gold, and a strong body above infinite wealth. There is no riches above a sound body, and no joy above the joy of the heart. Death is better than a bitter life or continual sickness.” SIRACH (ECCLESIASTICUS) 30:14-17 את CEPHER

Shane guides viewers through the technical history of the text—from its original Hebrew roots to its rediscovery in Cairo—while exploring its profound wisdom literature themes. Key points include the author's emphasis on the fear of God, the necessity of humility, and the importance of internal moral vigilance over external pressures like Hellenism.

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

"A modest wife is a supreme blessing; no scales can weigh the worth of her chastity. The sun rising in the Lord's heavens— the beauty of a good wife in her well-ordered home." Sirach (Ecclesiasticus 26:15-16). In this episode, we compare women in Scripture who were sent by Yah to build, and one who was sent by the enemy to destroy, so that we as women and mothers can arm ourselves and daughters against the deception of Eve manifest in various forms; combat the lie of feminism that the Bible reduces women to slaves; and destroy the notion that our beauty is only a danger to us. In Yahuah's hands, our beauty is a gift, a resource, and an asset. Join our new PRIVATE Community, The Hebrew Housewives Club (it's a free Facebook group).

For additional notes and resources check out Douglas' website.Hebrew words:Phinechas – "mouth of brass" or possibly "negro" (in old Egyptian). Appears first in Exodus 6:25, and also in 17 other OT location. Not to be confused with a later Phinehas (son of Eli, 1 Samuel 1:3) and yet another Phinehas in Ezra 8:33. Although his name was imitable, apparently his character was less imitable!Tsamad – join, yoke (Numbers 25:3); tsemed = couple, pairQubbah – large vaulted tent. There exists a similar word in Arabic meaning "camp sanctuary." Appears only here in Bible.Qin’ah – ardor, zeal, jealousy (Hebrew). From qana’ = be jealous.Zelos – jealousy, zeal (Greek NT and LXX). Whereas in English the Greek root evolved into two adjectives (zealous and jealous), it did not evolve to two nouns (zeal and "jeal"). But it could have!Further study:Passages the podcast covered or referred to:Number 25Exodus 32; Leviticus 10; 2 Samuel 6James 4:7-10Romans 12:11 (see also Revelation 3:16); Colossians 1:28-2:1; 3:1ff; 3:16; 4:2-6.Matthew 5:30; 1 Corinthians 5:5,7,13; 6:17; 2 Thessalonians 3:6-15; Hebrews 13:4; Revelation 21:8.In the NT: 2 Peter 2:15, Jude 11, Revelation 2:14Psalm 106:28-31(2 Cor 11:2 -- here Paul is jealous [zēlô] with a zeal [zēlō].)AdvancedPhinehas was chief of the Korahite Levites (1 Chronicles 9:20).

(In the United States, this is normally from age of 12.) Be sensitive.For more mature kids, read Numbers 25 and have a discussion. Begin by asking, What character strengths Phinehas has:Strong conviction.Does not follow the flow; understands that there are absolutes.Is unapologetic.Takes the initiative.Demonstrates leadership in a time of moral crisis.His anger is not for his own sake, but because he understands and believes deeply in God's law.True zeal...Ask, in what sorts of situations should a godly person take a stand (e.g. in school, in sports, at church)?In regard to leaving home /going to university, ask, What are you going to do/say when you see people engaged in gross sin?Ask, How does the world oppose and even ridicule such a man?Conclude by reading Joshua 24:15 (begin in v.14 and read as far as you need in order to paint the picture).Key verses:Numbers 25:11Psalm 106:31

Let’s examine one of the best sources of ancient wisdom much of the western (Protestant) world has abandoned! – The books Sirach (Ecclesiasticus) and Wisdom. These books are a treasure trove of sage wisdom and something (along with Proverbs) I listen to constantly (on audio). So lets dive in.
