AbstractThe passage of Qoh. xi 1-2 has traditionally been understood as a call for charity or international trade. However, in the light of the procedure by which beer was made in the ancient Near East, which involved placing bread into water, a more likely interpretation is that Qoheleth is recommending beer production and consumption in perilous times.
