And my aim was, if a man would read, read he should and with relish; would a man study, without great ado he should be able to commit all to memory; and so I would serve every man’s turn. (2 Maccabees 2, 26)
your epitomist will ask leave to study brevity, and let long disquisitions be. (2 Maccabees 2, 32)
And therewith I applied my mind to a new study; what meant wisdom and learning, what meant ignorance and folly? And I found that this too was labour lost; (Ecclesiastes 1, 17)
Let these, my son, be all the wisdom thou cravest; this writing of books is an endless matter, and from overmuch study nature rebels. (Ecclesiastes 12, 12)
PREFACE: Many are the important truths conveyed to us by the law, by the prophets and by those other writers who have followed them. Israel must be given credit for its own philosophical tradition, suited not only to instruct those who talk its language, but to reach, in spoken or written form, the outside world too, and bring it great enlightenment. No wonder if my own grandfather, Jesus, who had devoted himself to the careful study of the law, the prophets, and our other ancestral records, had a mind to put something in writing himself that should bear on this philosophical tradition, to claim the attention of eager students who had already mastered it, and to encourage their observance of the law. I must beg its readers to come well-disposed to their task, and to follow me closely, making allowances for me wherever I seem to have failed in the right marshalling of words, as I pass on wisdom at second hand. Hebrew words lose their force when they are translated into another language; moreover, when the Hebrews read out the law, the prophets, and the other books among themselves, they read them out in a greatly different form. It was in my thirty-eighth year,✻ in the reign of Euergetes, that I went to Egypt and spent some time there. When I found writings preserved there which were of high doctrinal value, it seemed to me right and fitting that I, too, should be at some pains; I would set about translating this book. Learning I gave to the task and long labour, and so brought it to an end; and so I offer the book to all who are ready to apply their minds to it, and learn how a man must frame his conduct if he would live by the divine law. (Ecclesiasticus 1, 0)
Fear the Lord, and not study to know his will? Love him, and not find contentment in his law? (Ecclesiasticus 2, 19)
My son, study well what the time needs, ever on thy guard against wrong-doing; (Ecclesiasticus 4, 23)
Study thy health before ever thou fallest sick, and thy own heart examine before judgement overtakes thee; so in God’s sight thou shalt find pardon. (Ecclesiasticus 18, 20)
Theirs it is to support this unchanging world of God’s creation; they ply their craft and ask for nothing better; … lending themselves freely and making their study in the law of the most High.✻ (Ecclesiasticus 38, 39)
But the wise man will be learning the lore of former times; the prophets will be his study. (Ecclesiasticus 39, 1)
let them come forward, these other gods, and tell us the future.✻ So read the past for us, that the study of it may disclose what needs must follow; coming events make known. (Isaiah 41, 22)
And this is the end of all thy long study; trusted counsellors of thy youth, all have gone astray in their reckoning; deliverance for thee is none. (Isaiah 47, 15)
