The Wisdom Instructions in the Book of Tobit

This study delves into the wisdom teachings found in a deuterocanonical text, particularly focusing on a father's instructions to his son. It examines how these teachings, often overlooked, serve as a guide for living righteously in exile. By analyzing the structure and content of these instructions, the work highlights their role in shaping Jewish identity and ethical behavior during the Second Temple period. The study also considers the broader wisdom tradition, exploring how these teachings reflect and contribute to the development of Jewish thought in a diasporic context.
