The Book of Sirach, also known as Ecclesiasticus, is part of the so-called “Apocrypha” and is regarded highly in the Jewish wisdom literature. Portions were also found among the Dead Sea Scrolls. Sirach 31:8-11 is a passage that speaks to the character of a righteous person, particularly a wealthy man who remains faithful and unblemished in the eyes of Yahweh. From a Messianic Jewish perspective, this passage provides a rich tapestry of moral and spiritual insights, closely tied to the teachings and example of Yeshua the Messiah.
