poetic references to Solomon himself.

5. The historical background of chapters 1-29,
though sparse, corresponds very closely to the
conditions of Solomon’s reign. See G. T. Manley,
The New Bible Handbook, p. 199. Read 29:18;
15:8; and 21:3, 27 for references to the Law and
sacrifices of Israel.

wise men,” noted earlier, lived no later than
Hezekiah.

the
interpretations of the authors writing the
paraphrases. They are not intended to be a
word-for-word translation of the Bible text. One
of the main purposes of a paraphrase is to
clarify an ambiguous word or phrase of the Bible
text.

Ecclesiastes is a perplexing book to many,
partly because its perspectives and purposes
are not understood. The background and
survey studies that follow will help to throw
light on these important concerns.
