Abstract:
In 1931, Joseph Marcus published the Hebrew text of a mediaeval manuscript (MS ENA 3053.3), which he characterized as “a prosodic version of Ben Sira 22:22-23:9.” Since this text has almost sunk into oblivion in Western scholarship, this article presents the Hebrew text and an English translation of this manuscript, as well as the Greek text of the prayer in Sir 22:27-23:6 also with an English translation. The subsequent comments focus on the structure of the prosodic version, its relation to the book of Ben Sira, and some characteristic literary features.
