ABSTRACT

As a form of social consciousness, Greek thought around 175-135, not only influenced the trends of cultural and ethical thought in the East, but those lines of thought also blended with the indigenous cultural colors that made Greek thought in this period develop brilliantly. Especially consolidating and developing religious beliefs. In particular, in Palestine, many Jews scattered everywhere established overseas communities (called Diaspora) and approached different forms of Greek religion such as belief in different gods and mascots worshiped in cities or belief in fate, astrology, magic, charms, Stoicism and Epicureanism. Faced with the real context of social history, the Pharisees were established, gradually grew and became known as “the separated ones”, they focused on strengthening faith through God’s plan expressed through covenants, promises, and blessings of God with mankind. Qohelet was a typical representative of that group.
