Zusammenfassung:This paper analyzes a single passage from the Book of Ben Sira, Sir 5:9-6:1, in order to demonstrate how each ancient version of this passage reveals a slightly different emphasis or idea. Each version, moreover, exhibits a distinct structure that reflects its specific idea. The significance of this for the book as a whole is that it illustrates how an ancient reader's or scribe's wish to find or impose a coherence in the text could lead to him or her altering the text in deliberate as well as accidental ways.
