This paper seeks first to demonstrate S's direct dependence on G, then examines how S negotiates between his Hebrew source text (≈M) and G, upon which he draws for insight and elaboration of his own version. Examples are of three main sorts, or classes: (1) S = M; (2) S combines M and G in various ways; and (3) S = G. The best way to explain both the translator's knowledge of Hebrew and his dependence on G is the hypothesis that he was as Jewish convert to Christianity.

What has been less well recognized is that Qohelet, 1 like some other wisdom books, is also narration: It tells something that happened to someone. I would like to take some first steps in the investigation of the literary characteristics of Qohelet as narrative: Who is speaking (the question of voice), how do the voices speak, and how do they relate to each other? I will argue that the Book of Qohelet is to be taken as a whole, as a single, wellintegrated composition, the product not of editorship but of authorship, which uses interplay of voice as a deliberate literary device for rhetorical and artistic purposes. 2
