Abstract:
Time is a relevant question for Ben Sira. The terms עת and καιρός together with other time-related words and expressions are frequent in his teaching. My aim here is to survey Sir 18:19-26, a passage that has been little studied, if not to say almost ignored, by scholars. I concentrate on the double sense of the term καιρός in the passage, which exposes a notion of time that is quite other than univocal.
