Sirach

Hebrew copies, including Qumran, are preferred where they preserve an earlier wording. The later Greek is footnoted there. Elsewhere the Greek is the continuous text.

Not translated yet

This book is in the canon. No English is printed here as scripture. A sample paragraph would pretend to be the book, and this site does not do that.

Translation starts only when a book is drafted from its Hebrew, Aramaic, or Greek witnesses, with the footnotes kept on the verse.
