The Testimony of Sirach (1 of 2 notes)

Part Two
Bibliology: 13 THE CANON OF SCRIPTURE
A DISPENSATIONAL THEOLOGY
By Charles F Baker

About 180 B.C. Jesus ben Sirach of Jerusalem wrote the book of Ecclesiasticus in Hebrew. About 50 years later his grandson, who bore the same name, translated the book into Greek and wrote the Prologue to it. In it he acknowledges the Greek translation of the Old Testament, which he felt had failed to express adequately the full meaning of the original Hebrew, and he twice refers to the canonical Scriptures under the three-fold division, Law, Prophets, and the rest of the books.
