📜 The Book of Sirach — True Hebrew Wisdom Before Rome

The Book of Sirach — True Hebrew Wisdom Before Rome

• Written around 180 BC in Hebrew by Yeshua ben Sira.
• Sirach was a pure Torah-centered book.
• It taught Israel to return to:
• Obedience
• Reverence for Yhwh
• Righteous living

Sirach rejected foreign gods, Greek philosophy, and mystical teachings.

❌ What Happened Later

• The Greeks translated Sirach into Greek — twisting its meaning.
• The Catholic Church later hid it in the Apocrypha or removed it.

📛 Why It Matters

• Sirach is true Hebrew wisdom.
• Written before Rome, before Paul, before Christianity.
• A call to follow Yhwh alone, not foreign religion.

Real wisdom comes from Yhwh — not Greek philosophy.
