Prayer of Manasseh
The Prayer of Manasseh (or Manasses) is a
short work of 15 verses recording a
penitential prayer attributed to King
Manasseh of Judah. Most scholars believe
that the Prayer of Manasseh was written in
Greek in the 1st or 2nd century BC. Another
work by the same title, written in Hebrew
and containing distinctly different content,
was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls.
