The theology exhibited in Proverbs wherein Lady Wisdom can be embodied into human beings was influential with other Jewish writers before the New Testament was written. This episode aims to lay that foundation by looking at the Book of Sirach and the writings of Philo. Both Sirach and Philo continue the argument from Proverbs by depicting God's Wisdom, personified as a female figure, as becoming incarnate in the human figures Simon the High Priest and Sarah, Abraham's wife. This indicates that the language of the Word becoming flesh in John 1:14 is not saying something new, but rather continuing a thoroughly Jewish way of portraying the incarnation of God's personified attributes.
