Summary: | The article re-examines exegetically the text of Eccl 3:11 which has always given scholars much labour in order to understand its true meaning. This paper re-takes this enterprise to see if a conclusion is possible. The contribution consists in the analysis of the text and its context; after which, a comparison between the Qohelet verse and other sources of thought, particularly Job, is undertaken. The influence of the Hellenistic cultural environment is also underscored. The result is that Qoheleth, while referring to the Jewish wisdom tradition, gives it however a speculative twist which leads to a pessimistic reasoning, but also to a positive ethic of human conduct that becomes a realistic and adult model of life. |
