Excerpt from The Originality of the Hebrew Text of Ben Sira in the Light of the Vocabulary and the Versions: A ThesisAgain we have words with new 111 ~anings. Which we shallobserve below. These words offer some difficulty and their evidence is doubtful. They may imply that the author was not familiar with the classical usage of these words. This seems to betrue of the Greek translator, who is umeh more correct in the translation of late words and N. Ll. Expressions than with the older idioms and terms. The new meanings of words in B. S. Mav be similarly accounted for, though it is possible to explain these new shades and developments of meaning by late usage. But the evidence of verb-forms is unequivocal. Almost every page has examples of the increasing use of the Hiphil and the llithpael in place of the simple forms of the classical style. A Piel of Aramaic formation is common. In the following paragraph, we shall have reason to observe another feature of the writer's style. Often a word is used quite properly in its meaning, but we feel that the literary taste which selectezl it has erred be cause the word does not blend into the context. Such instances indicate an increasing removal from the classical period.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
