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)
Wouldst thou defy, and openly, a ruler’s authority? Thou hadst better swim against the stream’s force.✻ (Ecclesiasticus 4, 32)
when the time for reckoning comes, they will put out all their force, until their Maker’s anger is appeased. (Ecclesiasticus 39, 34)
Hardily I strove to win her, put force on myself to keep her rule; (Ecclesiasticus 51, 25)
And the king of Assyria, who was then at Lachis, sent Rabsaces at the head of a strong force to Jerusalem, where king Ezechias was. This Rabsaces took up his stand on the aqueduct that fed the upper pool, on the way that brings you to the Fuller’s Field, (Isaiah 36, 2)
By what cunning or what force dost thou hope to meet me in arms? On whose help dost thou rely, that thou wouldst throw off my allegiance? (Isaiah 36, 5)
with this message from the Lord, the God of Israel: All the strength you have put into the field,✻ to meet the king of Babylon and your Chaldaean besiegers at a distance from the walls, I mean to force back into the city and coop it up within. (Jeremiah 21, 4)
And at his words, a divine force mastered me, raising me to my feet, so that I could listen to him. (Ezekiel 2, 2)
But a divine force mastered me and raised me to my feet again. Now go within doors, he said, and shut thyself in there … (Ezekiel 3, 24)
It seemed as if an outstretched hand caught me by a lock of my hair; and with that, a force lifted me up between heaven and earth, and I was carried away in a divine transport to Jerusalem. There was the gateway of the inner court, looking northwards, and there was that image of rival deity God sees and hates. (Ezekiel 8, 3)
I will force you under my sceptre, chain you to my covenant. (Ezekiel 20, 37)
like silver in the furnace, you shall feel the force of the Lord’s vengeance at last. (Ezekiel 22, 22)
