If we have succeeded in demonstrating the unity oi} Qoheleth, and that it belongs to a period subsequent to the Alexandrine era (333 B. C. ), we are prepared to find in it traces of the influ- ences of Greek Philosophy. Well-bred Jews began to be versed in Greek, and it is not to be wondered at if the Rabbis en- deavored to exclude from the Canon a work which exhibited such marked tendencies to foreign modes of thought and expression as were utterly alien to Jewish culture. , Let us try to form... some idea of what these Grecian, or Graeco-Roman, influences are. In the first chapter, Qoheleth sets forth his cosmological con- ceptions. He, like the Stoics, seems to have adopted the theories of Heraclitus the cardinal principle of which is that of change ; no bevn[ _i u lL & L-Constant becoming. With this thought he sets ouT, and to this thought he returns ; and to nearly every inquiry which he raises, he adds the reflection r\T\ mjni ^DH ^OH (ii, 11), * ' All is vanity and striving after wind.
