Psalms. The overall structure follows the sequence of heaven-earth-humanity found in Psalm 148, the canticle in Greek Daniel 3, and Cicero\u2019s treatise De natura deorum. From such parallels, we suggest that Sir 16:26-28 refers to the creation of the heavenly bodies, linked to the angels. God\u2019s ordering of the obedient heavenly bodies, while following biblical teaching (e.g., Psalm 104[103]) and Second Temple Jewish texts (e.g., Hodayot, 1 Enoch, Testament of Naphtali), also has clear parallels in Stoic cosmology (e.g., Cleanthes\u2019 Hymn to Zeus; Cicero, De natura deorum). Sirach 17:1-2 presents death as something natural, unconnected with human sin, although the idea of returning to the earth echoes the language of God\u2019s punishment of Adam in Gen 3:19. The description of human beings having a limited number of days, presented as a natural phenomenon, agrees with Psalm 90(89), but also matches Stoic ideas of divine providence.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6b08a9df e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"6b08a9df\" data-element_type=\"container\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-249b6762 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"249b6762\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h6 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Keywords:<\/h6>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-458e37f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"458e37f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"article-keywords\">\n  <div class=\"kw-inline\">\n    angels, creation, Genesis, Sirach, Stoic cosmology\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n<style>\n  .article-keywords {\n    margin-top: 0.5rem;
