      ab: The article discusses the Syriac Bible, Ben Sira and it's translation. In his commentary on Ben Sira, Rudolph Smend characterised the Syriac translation of Ben Sira as the worst piece of translation of the Syriac Bible. The text contains many additions, paraphrases, and free renderings, a number of times reflecting a misunderstanding of the Hebrew text. The differences between the original book and its Syriac translation are not only quantitative but also reflect adaptations to later socio-cultural circumstances. The translator of the Syrian text was a Jew, although the present text also contains some later Christian interpolations.
