ACKNOWLEDGlVIENTS

The year 1996 conunemorated the centenary of the discovery of the' first (group of) Hebrew Ben Sira manuscripus). In 1896, a leaf which had been brought to England by Mrs Agnes Lewis and Mrs Margaret Gibson was identified by Solomon Schechter as a fragment of the Hebrew text of the Book of Ben Sira. The next few months saw the discovery of a great number of Ben Sira fragments in Hebrew, which belonged to at least four manuscripts. After World War II, some Hebrew texts found at Qumran in the Judaean Desert could be identified as fragments of the Book of Ben Sira. In 1964 more than twenty parts of a Hebrew Ben Sira Scroll came to light at the fortress of Masada. The most recent discovery goes back to 1982. So now nine Hebrew manuscripts of Ben Sira have been recovered.

Celebrating this centenary, Ben Sira scholars from allover the

world met for the first time in history at an International Ben Sira Conference held from 28-31 July 1996 at Soesterberg in the Netherlands. This new text edition and synopsis of all extant Hebrew Ben Sira manuscripts was published on the occasion of this . centenary and this first international Ben Sira meeting.

I would like to thank some people who have been of great help to me in bringing this project to fruition. First, Dr Benjamin G. Wright, Lehigh University, Bethlehem, Pennsylvania (US), who provided me with his computerized Ben Sira text. However in quite a few instances, I have adjusted his data base and made alterations of my own. I am greatly indebted to Drs Joop van Klink, Alphen aan den Rijn (NL), Nico de Groot and Raymond Eilert, Catholic Theological University, Utrecht (NL) for their unremitting

Reif Director of the Taylor-Schechter Genizah Research Unit, University of Cambridge (GB), Dr Seth Jerchower, Special Collections Research Associate of Jewish Theological Seminary of America, New York (US), and Dr Richard Judd, Hebrew Specialist Librarian of the Bodleian Library, Oxford (GB) kindly provided me with the actual signatures of some Hebrew Ben Sira manuscripts. I also would like to thank J. Christopher Rigg, Bennekom (NL) for correcting my English. Finally, let me thank Prof. Andre Lemaire, Paris, editor of Supplements to Vetus Testamentum and Publishing House EJ. Brill, Leyden, for accepting the manuscript in the series.

INTRODUCTION

Various text editions were published quite soon after the discovery in 1896 of some Hebrew fragments, identified as parts of the Book of Ben Sira.1 Some new Hebrew manuscripts and fragments of the Book of Ben Sira were discovered between 1931 and 1960.2 However especially after the discovery of the Ben Sira Scroll from Masada in 1964, a completely new edition was needed, to encorn-

INTRODUCTION

Ben-Hayyim, as a result of an extended project of 'The Academy of the Hebrew Language and the Shrine of the Book,.6

Since the end of the 1970s during intensive preoccupation with the Hebrew text of the Book of Ben Sira, I have become increasingly concerned about instances in which current text editions had given users a false impression of the texts of the recovered Hebrew manuscripts.I For instance both Vattioni and Ben- Hayyim rendered the Hebrew texts in the order of the Greek verses, i.e. contrary to the sequence of the recovered Hebrew manuscripts.f Meantime, A. Scheiber published a sixth Hebrew manuscript (F) of the Book of Ben Sira, and two minor fragments ofMS C in 1982. Unfortunately he published those texts in a little known Hungarian periodical and it took another six years before his article was noticed by A.A. Di LelIa, who provided a more accurate, text-critical .. edition of MS-F.10

With this in mind at the end of the 1980s, I came up with the idea of publishing a new text edition of the Hebrew Book of Ben Sira. Such an edition should contain only the actual texts of the manuscripts of Hebrew Ben Sira, e.g. verses in the order found in the manuscripts and without reconstructions for illegible consonants or for larger gaps in the manuscripts. A second major reason for preparing a new text edition of the Hebrew Book of Ben S ira was to present a synopsis of all the extant Hebrew Ben Sira material.

(, The Book of Ben Sira: Text, Concordance and an Analysis of the Vocabulary (The Historical Dictionary of the Hebrew Language), Jerusalem 1973.

7 The way in which such inaccuracy can lead to exegetical misconstructions has been aired in P.c. Beentjes, 'The Reliability of Text-editions in Ben Sira 41,14-16', Bijdragen 49 (1988), - 188-194.

R See, for instance, in both editions Sir. 3,25; 7,15; 11,32-12,1; 31.21--22; 31,27--28; 36.18 ff.; 37,24-25; 41,14-16; 42,9; 44.15; 46,16--20; 48,7-8; 51,19-20. See also Sir. 36,1·~lla. 11b-17 [Ben-Hayyim] and Sir. 49,15-50,1 [Vattioni].

INTRODUCTION

Method and approach

Once the decision was taken to prepare a Ben Sira synopsis, I was faced with some delicate questions of method and approach. At the outset, the text edition was intended merely as a running synopsis. However this option was abandoned for several reasons.

(1) In MSS B, E and F, and the Masada Scroll, the Hebrew text is arranged sticho-metrically: each (half of a) verse is written in two distinct columns, which are clearly marked off by a rather wide blank space. By contrast, MSS A, C, D, and II QPsaSir present a continuous Hebrew text. The space of every line has been completely utilized. Not only there is no blank between the first and the second half of a colon, but neither is there a blank between one line and the other. An editor wanting to put together these two types of manuscripts is faced with a serious problem. Which of the two principles should he favour in order to present the material synoptically? The only effective way would be to opt for the stichometric rendering, also on grounds of frequency. The manuscripts written stichometrically preserve a total of about 1000 verses, whereas the non-stichometric manuscripts represent a total of about 550 verses. However if these latter manuscripts be edited stichometrically, their essential feature would be completely lost.

(2) Special problems arose also for MS C, which is an anthology from the Book of Ben Sira, u To the editor who wants to "synopticizc' this manuscript with the parallel texts of MSS A, B and D, the 'chaotic' sequence of the verses ofMS C (e.g, Sir. 3,14- 18.21-22; 41,16; 4,21; 20,22-23; 4,22-23) poses a serious problem. To present MS C synoptically, one has to rearrange the anthological verses into an assumed 'original' order, but then al1 characteristics of the anthological MS C disappear at once.

(3) A third problem of approach is 'erratic verses', which are to be found both in MS A and MS B. For instance in MS A, the Hebrew

INTRODUCTION

text of Sir. 27,5-6 has been transmitted between Sir. 6,22 and 6,23. In MS B, this feature occurs several times, for example the text of Sir. 7,21 between Sir. 10,24 and 10,25~ and Sir. 27,16 occurs between Sir. 31,2 and 31,3. How should one process such 'erratic verses'? By 1ifting them out of their original context, the editor is creating a new text that has never existed. The same could be said about rearranging continuous texts stichometrically and about the complete destruction of MS C' s characteristics.

Considering these facts, I had no other choice but to render all the extant material in a twofold way. In Part 1 of the text edition, all Hebrew Ben Sira texts are included according to the factual presentation of the manuscripts themselves. In this part, the reader will therefore find the verses arranged exactly as they were in the recovered Hebrew manuscripts. In the 'non-colometric' manuscripts (A,

C, 0 and 11 QPsa), a s1ant line (f) indicates the end of a line. Part 11 of the text edition includes on1y those verses present in two or more manuscripts. In the synopsis, an asterisk (*) before a verse number indicates that such a verse is not present at that place in the Hebrew manuscript, e.g. Sir. 33,1 is between Sir. 32,21 and 32,24 in both MS E and MS F. For details of such matters, one must look up the relevant verse in Part I.

A new type of synopsis

Surprisingly, this is the first time an attempt has been made to compile a synopsis in the sense of those passages in which the I-Ie~ brew Ben Sira text is available in more than one manuscript. The material in this volume win be presented in a more convenient and functional way than in former editions.

The 'synoptic' systems used so far for the Ben Sira texts can be assigned to three categories :

(1) The diplomatic model, in which a single I-Iebrew manuscript serves as the basic text. The variant readings of the remaining manuscripts are placed in a text-critical apparatus. This pattern was

followed, for instance, by the editions of Knabenbauer, Smend and Vattioni.

(2) The interlinear m-odel. If a text is extant in more than one Ben Sira manuscript, all textual forms that have been recovered of a verse are printed one after another, before moving to the next verse. This system was used by Ben-Hayyim.

(3) The 'block' model. A quite extensive passage from MS X is printed as a whole and is then followed by the corresponding part(s) from MS Y (and Z). The textual evidence is presented in this way in the editions by Levi, Strack, Segal and Boccaccio & Berardi.

I have attempted to combine the qualities of the interlinear and the block model, to enable its user to read the several Hebrew texts of the Book of Ben Sira more easily than the extant editions so far have offered the textual evidence. Each colon (or line of text) has been printed on the same horizontal line as the corresponding colon or line from other manuscripts. This is the only presentation that guarantees that each verse is preserved in its context. The synopsis gives no information about the dependence or the age of one text in

I . th 12

re ation to any 0 er.

Risks and danger 0/ 'synchronic ' presentation

Presentation in one overall view of all available synoptic Ben Sira material involves problems. Everyone who uses this synopsis must realize that it raises linguistic and hermeneutic difficulties. The synopsis presents both a diachronic and a synchronic text. Hebrew manuscripts originating in quite different eras are printed here side by side. MSS A and 0 are dated almost unanimously in the 11 th Century and MS B into the 12th Century, whereas the anthological MS C is considered to be (much ?) older.l3 Unfortunately MS E

12 This problem has been discussed in detail by H.-P. RUger, Text und Text/arm im hebraischen Sirach, BZAW 112, Berlin 1970. Recently, L Schrader, Leiden und Gerechtigkeit. Studien zu] r] Theologie und Textgeschichte des Sirachbuches (BET 27), Frankfurt a. M. 1994, 13-57, has introduced fresh arguments into this discussion.

has not been dated by J. Marcus nor to my knowledge by any other scholar either. The recently recovered MS F has been left undated by A. Scheiber, who published the text of the manuscript in 1982. However A.A. Di LelIa, in his circumstantial description of MS F, concluded that the writing seems to be from the 11 th or 12th Cen-

14 tury.

Whereas MSS A-F originated in the Middle Ages or were copied at that time, the provenance of the remaining Ben Sira manuscripts is entirely different. Fragments of the Book of Ben Sira recovered from Qumran have been dated either in the second half of the 1 st Century BCE (2Q 18) or in the first half of the 1 st Century CE (11QPsa).15 The 26 leather fragments of the Ben Sira Scroll from Masada, discovered in 1964, have been set in the first half of the 1 st Century BCE.16 The interval between the Scroll and Ben Sira himself, who composed his work about 190-180 BCE, is very smal1 indeed.

When all this Hebrew evidence has been put together in a synopsis, the user is faced at a glance with a millennium or even more. One should always bear this huge interval in mind. Though reckoned among the 'outside books' (D'J'~'ITiii D'I"1£)O), 17 we should realize that the Hebrew text of Ben Sira was sometimes treated as reasonably authoritative, so that a reasonably reliable text was preserved throughout the ages.18

18 The inclusion in themargin of MS B, and MS D, of each others variant readings is strong evidence that there was great respect to the Hebrew Ben Sira text.

The synopsis : a weapon against 'parallelomania ~

Putting all the parallel Ben Sira texts together into a synopsis can, paradoxicall y, protect the reader from an exegetical preoccupation that S. Sandmel called 'parallelomania' .19 A synopsis can make scholars look at texts more carefully, instead of postulating dependence on other writings, Two examples may illustrate the point. The Hebrew text of Sir. 40,15b in MS Bruns: '!J?O 1tD ?l? ~Jn illi'to ':>. The colon therefore seems a close parallel to Job 39~28b: .v?O lW 7J) iij~O'. Though the text of Sir. 40,15b is heavily damaged in the Masada Scroll, the final word of the colon has fortunately been preserved: "l~. This synonym of liL;o seems to represent the older textual form and is transmitted also as the marginal reading in .MS B itself: "1'~ 1w ?.D ~pn rD"l'to,. It looks as though somebody altered the original expression .,~ /-,,~ lto "1] into n?o jW ?n in MS J3 to create a

"

close parallel to the Biblical wording of Job 39,28b. However the

copyist of MS B drew attention to another form, which seems closer to the original reading, in the margin of the manuscript. 20

A similar example is in Sir. 42,15b. The poem on the Works of God in Creation (42,15-43,33) in MS B opens with the wording: iiiE:!O~' "n"lfTi rm 7~ "t?l'i'J ~J '~i~. The second colon is particularly puzzling, as its Hebrew text completely coincides with the text of Job 15J 7b. In both texts the formula iT'E)O~' "n"in rm functions as an - introductory call to attention (,Lehreroffnungs-formel'). The reader could easily be misled to assume that Sir. 42,15b was a deliberate parallel to the Book of JOb_21 The second colon of Sir. 42,15b in the Masada Scroll (which text was not discussed or even mentioned by Snaith) runs as iTJJtD~, -rrm nil. With the very rare verb p~ II (only Deut. 6,7), the Masada text again represents the older textual

19 S. Sandmel, 'Parallelomania'c.jfif, 81 (1962). 1~13.

20 The margin of MS B often provides a textual form that coincides with the Masada text. In Table 1, Yadin, The Ben Sira Scroll, 7 (Hebrew Section) collected about 50 such instances. However note his cautious comment on this: Yadin, The Ben Sira Scroll, 9 (English Section).

21 Even J.G. Snaith, who for the rest was cautious in assuming parallels between Ben Sira and the Hebrew Bible. supposed one here: ' ... the combination of the comparatively rare 'rtm with the cohortative ending of ;'II9Ot.:; is sufficiently distinctive to suggest certain dependence .. ."; J.G. Snaith, 'Biblical Quotations in the Hebrew of Ecclesiasticus', JThS 18 (1967), 1-12 (6).

form.22 In MS B, it was probably a copyist's familiarity with th scriptural passage of Job 15, 17b that caused alteration of the original Ben Sira text to a more common synonym.r'

Marginal readings

In reproducing the textual evidence from the manuscripts of Hebrew Ben Sira, a technical problem is how to incorporate al1 those variant readings found in the margins of the manuscripts into a text edition. One sometimes even comes upon entire lines of verse in the margin of a manuscript (e.g. Sir. 30,19ab.19cd.20a, MS B).

M di . . h h 24 . her i 25

with a special typographical device, e.g. a separate section'" or bold square brackets.27 These marginal readings must be accorded their full weight. In the first place, they are part of the textual evidence of the manuscripts. In the second place, they often seem to represent variant readings available to the copyist in other Ben Sira manuscripts. For example, the Persian glosses28 in the margins of Sir. 32,1; 35,20; 40,22-26; 45,8 of MS B bear clear testimony to this practice'" and such communications may contribute to the textual history of the Book of Ben Sira. Yadin, in his introductory analysis of the Ben Sira Scroll from Masada in relation to the text of MS B and its marginal readings, showed that more than 50 mar-

ginal readings of MS B agree with the text of the Scroll.30 It is therefore beyond question that the margin material of all extant Ben Sira manuscripts belongs to the essential and objective data that ought to be incorporated prominently into a Ben Sira text edition.

So the most ideal solution would be to print all these marginal readings exactly as was done for MS B by Cowley & Neubauer. In their edition, all marginal variants were printed at exactly the same place and with other characteristics as in the manuscript itself. This edition uses a system similar to that of Cowley & Neubauer. For instance, words or cola written slanting in the margin of the manuscript are printed likewise. However as the textual data have been processed electronically, the reproduced texts may, needs be, reflect some minor variations from the original manuscripts.

The first draft of the Hebrew text was adapted from a computerized Ben Sira text by Benjamin G. Wright who worked out a parallel alignment of the Hebrew and Greek Ben Sira texts" within the CATSS project.32 The Greek text is the 'First' Greek translation by Ben Sira's grandson according to J. Ziegler'S Gottingen edition.t' His Hebrew text is that of the Hebrew Language Academy, i.e. the Ben-Hayyim edition, which contains aJ1 the Hebrew Ben Sira manuscripts discovered up to 1973. I added the text of MS F, the sixth Mediaeval Hebrew manuscript, discovered by A. Scheiber in 1982, and compared the computerized Hebrew Ben Sira text precisely and critically with photographs of all Ben Sira manuscripts, either published by the scholar(s) who edited the 'editio princeps' 'of a particular manuscript or provided by the library or museum that held the manuscript. 34 As emphasized earlier, the text edition

As my text edition presents the Hebrew text of the Book of Ben Sira in a rather different way from text editions like those of Vattioni and Ben-Hayyim, an Index provides ready access to any given verse.

PART I

TEXTS OF ALL EXTANT HEBREW BEN SIRA MANUSCRIPTS

This part of the text edition gives the Hebrew text of each of the nine manuscripts of Ben Sira in fulL As far as technically possible, the texts are printed in facsimile, i.e. precisely as the lines were written in the manuscripts. The textual evidence is presented as faithfully as possible, leaving the reader to interpret the evidence and to draw conclusions from it, in contrast to previous text editions, which too often interpreted the textual evidence instead of presenting their readers with the real textual state of the recovered texts.

42 The Hebrew text is followed by a Persian gloss. Hebrew: 'All the days of the poor are evil [see Prov. 15, I 5], Ben Sira says, At night also. His roofis the lowest of roofs, and his vineyard is in the height of the mountains; the min of other roofs falls on his roof, and the earth of his vineyard fans on other vineyards.' Persian: 'It is probable that this was not found in the original copy, but that it is used as a proverb.'; Cowley & Neubauer, The Original Hebrew ... , 1897, 7.
