“The mysterious and intriguing Artapanus haunts the byways of research on Hellenistic Judaism. Efforts to classify him end in frustration”1. This was the apt description that Erich S. Gruen recently gave of the problem and fascination of dealing with the early Jewish author Artapanus. Gruen expounds the reasons for the difficulties in research on Artapanus as follows: “Artapanus resists labels, eludes characterization and defies categories. He carries a Persian name, writes in Greek and has a Jewish perspective. His work jumbles genres and transforms traditions, blending history with fable, propaganda with fantasy, biblical narrative with pagan romance”2. Against this background, research on Artapanus seems, once more, to offer a present-day challenge.
神秘而迷人的阿尔塔帕努斯一直困扰着希腊化犹太教的研究。对他进行分类的努力以失败告终。这是埃里希·s·格伦(Erich S. Gruen)最近对与早期犹太作家阿尔塔帕努斯(Artapanus)打交道的问题和魅力所作的恰当描述。Gruen阐述了阿塔帕努斯研究困难的原因:“阿塔帕努斯抗拒标签，逃避表征，抗拒类别。他有一个波斯名字，用希腊文写作，有着犹太人的视角。他的作品混淆了流派，改变了传统，将历史与寓言、宣传与幻想、圣经叙事与异教浪漫结合在一起。在这样的背景下，对阿塔帕努斯的研究似乎再一次提出了当今的挑战。

That Ben Sira was completely immersed in the traditions of Israel’s history and sacred literature is a commonplace in biblical studies. Even a casual reading of the book would convince one of that. Since he was a well-educated and cultured Jew who had travelled extensively in the Hellenistic world (Sir 34:12-13)1, we can reasonably assume that he was at least familiar with some Greek literary works and with the various genres of Greek historical writing2, But this does not mean that Ben Sira modeled in any way his Praise of the Ancestors on Greek literature. From the earlier parts of the OT he had all the historical models he would have needed. Thomas R. Lee, however, believes that Ben Sira did indeed base the Praise on Greek literature, and he argues that of all the Hellenistic literary genres Ben Sira was principally indebted to the encomium3. While acknowledging the importance of Lee’s study, Burton L. Mack believes that this study needs revision. Mack’s thesis, accordingly, is that Ben Sira “was conversant with Hellenistic historiography, biography, and the encomium, but that each provided models only for certain aspects of the poem [44-50]”4. The arguments in support of the thesis that Ben Sira modeled the Praise on Greek literature are slim and, in my judgment, unconvincing. The reason is that, since Ben Sira explicitly and frequently warns his students/readers against the blandishments of Greek ideas and ideals5, he would be unlikely to employ Greek genres for his great poem in Praise of Israel’s Ancestors. R.N. Whybray appropriately remarks: “If Ben Sira thought it important to include a ‘historiographical’ section to his wis-
本·西拉完全沉浸在以色列历史和神圣文学的传统中，这在圣经研究中是司空见惯的。即使随便读一下这本书，也会让人相信这一点。由于他是一个受过良好教育和有文化的犹太人，曾在希腊化的世界广泛旅行(Sir 34:12-13)，我们可以合理地假设他至少熟悉一些希腊文学作品和希腊历史著作的各种体裁，但这并不意味着本·西拉的《先祖颂》在任何方面都是模仿希腊文学的。从旧约的早期开始，他就有了他需要的所有历史模型。然而，托马斯·r·李认为，本·西拉的确是以希腊文学为基础创作《赞美诗》的。他认为，在所有希腊化的文学体裁中，本·西拉主要得益于《赞美诗》。虽然承认李研究的重要性，但Burton L. Mack认为这项研究需要修订。因此，麦克的论点是，本·西拉“精通希腊化的史学、传记和赞美诗，但每一种都只为这首诗的某些方面提供了模型[44-50]”。支持本·西拉将《赞美诗》模仿希腊文学这一论点的论据并不充分，而且在我看来，缺乏说服力。原因是，由于本·西拉明确而频繁地警告他的学生/读者不要受希腊思想和理想的蛊骗，他不太可能在他的伟大诗篇《赞美以色列的祖先》中使用希腊体裁。R.N. Whybray恰当地评论道:“如果本·塞拉认为在他的作品中加入一个‘史学’部分很重要的话——

In volume 6 of “The Dead Sea Scrolls Reader”, under the title “Historical Texts and Tales”, you will find as “Historical Texts” only four fragmentary texts (4Q322a, 4Q332, 4Q3331, and 4Q468e), of which the text and translation cover only four pages2. The impression might be given that the community of the Dead Sea Scrolls was not interested in history at all, but this is erroneous. It is not true of the Qumran-Essene community in particular, just as it is wrong in the case of the history of the community in relation to Israel’s history in a general sense. A remark may be added about a point that is not developed in this context; namely, that the eschatology of some of the texts offers apocalyptic scenarios depicting history right to the end.

After recounting the rebuilding of the ramparts (1:1–7:3) and the repopulation of Jerusalem (7:4-72), the Book of Nehemiah describes how the governor pursued his task of restoration by means of a religious reform (chaps. 8–10). This includes, in particular, the re-establishment of the Festival of Sukkoth and the ceremony during which the community addresses to YHWH a long prayer and promises to keep the Law of Moses. The passage that concerns us here is the prayer recalling various episodes from Israel’s ancient history. How does the prayer view Israel’s history? To answer the question, I shall begin by observing the structure of the prayer, which will then allow me to demonstrate some characteristics of its interpretation of history, and I shall conclude by seeking to determine the actual situation that underlies the text.
