In contrast, Alma Brodersen examines methodological and historical issues regarding the beginning of the biblical canon and Ben Sira, and demonstrates that the book itself - as distinct from the later Prologue to its Greek translation - does not actually refer to texts as canonical. In addition, a systematic analysis of key passages in Ben Sira 38-39 and 44-50 in Hebrew and Greek uncovers similarities with other ancient texts which are not canonical today but preserved in the Dead Sea Scrolls. Far from proving the existence of the biblical canon in his day, Ben Sira's book indicates instead the importance of oral teaching and the relevance of a wide range of traditions. 410 $aForschungen zum Alten Testament 606 $aReligion 610 00$aHebrew Bible 615 0$aReligion 700 $aBrodersen$b Alma$f1986-$01592447 801 0$bScCtBLL 801 1$bScCtBLL 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910758479603321 996 $aThe Beginning of the Biblical Canon and Ben Sira$93910136 997 $aUNINA
