Abstract:
In the Hebrew text of the Wisdom of Ben Sira (Ms B IX verso, line 12 = Or. 1102), the final word of 40:4 has been misread in past editions and commentaries. New digital photographs and first-hand observation reveal that the word in question is סיגה 'flax, linen', a word previously unattested in Hebrew.
