In ancient Egyptian literature, wisdom literature belonged to the teaching genre which flourished during the Middle Kingdom of Egypt and became canonical during the New Kingdom. Wisdom literature has two deuterocanonical works, one Hebrew and one Greek. The Hebrew word is called Ecclesiasticus, in the Latin Bible and in Greek manuscripts Sophia Iēsouhyiou Sirach (the Wisdom of Jesus) and is characterized by universality as portrayed in the biblical books such Proverbs, Job, Ecclesiastes, Lamentations.

I will be discussing two texts that largely capture the wisdom literature, one is Maxims of Ptahhotep: the Old Kingdom or the Middle Kingdom and the other is Instruction of a Man for his Son: Middle Kingdom.[Mark, Joshua.
