The Praise of the Ancestors (Sir 44–49) offers an interpretation of the story of Biblical Israel as seen through the eyes of Ben Sira. His telling of this story, permeated with God’s working, contains the names of male protagonists only. Still, analysis of textual versions of the Praise of the Ancestors (Hebrew, Greek and Syriac) enables us to detect some anonymous allusions to women (Sir 46:13; 47: 6.19; 48:19, 49:7). The present article attempts to investigate the reasons why there are no named references to Biblical heroines from Israel’s history, individuals who are mentioned in other books of the Bible. One answer might be found in the particular focus and educational purpose of the Praise, which was to provide a life model for young boys. Another reason might lie in the genre of the Praise, which was used in reference to women in Greek texts, but not in the Bible, where the name lists of praised heroes contained male names only. However, the most convincing reason for the absence of female names in the Praise of the Ancestors is found in its association with the priesthood of Biblical Israel. For the writer of the book, true high priests of the Jerusalem Temple constituted the ultimate keystone of the covenant between God and his people. Women, being absent from the official priesthood of Israel, are consequently absent from Sir 44–49.

The author of the study criticises the unusual length of the document, and therefore tries to present it in short to those interested. The fundamental shortcomings of the text are in methodology: both, the goal and concept of anthropology, are not defined; important documents of the International Theological Commission dealing with anthropology are not mentioned; for some passages, it was obligatory to recall the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church. Methodological vagueness is the reason for the endless description of the biblical content. However, in particular parts of the document, there is a great deal of interesting information and suggestions to which the author draws attention to in the last part of his study.

The paper presents an overview of the situation of the biblical scholarship after the beginning of the 21st century. After a brief historical introduction the factors are specified that have influenced a present-day positive acceptance of the methodological pluralism. Nevertheless the keystone of the biblical interpretation remains Historical Criticism that combines a diachronic and synchronic approach to ancient texts and that in comparison with its beginning achieved certain innovations. A great expansion enjoy in our times the interpretative approaches, which are not a method in proper sense, but rather specific aspects of interest that bring a reader to understanding and to the actualization of a text. Majority of the approaches have as common denominator an intense orientation on the role of a reader in the process of interpretation. From the hermeneutical point of view is desirable to see a text as an open reality that offers ever new interpretations.

The Book of Proverbs presents four texts where the tree of life metaphor appears: 3:18; 11:30; 13:12; 15:4. They obviously allude to the heavenly tree, which – according to the description in Genesis – stood in the middle of the Garden of Eden. The motif is also present in tales and beliefs of ancient Near East cultures (Mesopotamia, Egypt, Canaan), which somehow affected its biblical use. The pre-sence of this metaphor in the Book of Proverbs indicates that regaining life that had been lost in the Garden of Eden was identified with gaining the divine gi= of wisdom. The tree of life, i.e. a gi= of a blessed life, means following the paths of wisdom in all its aspects: speech, desires, acts and relationships
