The Prayer of Manasseh is a short, penitential prayer attributed to king Manasseh of Judah.
The majority of scholars believe that the Prayer of Manasseh was written in Greek (while a minority argues for a Semitic original) in the second or first century BC.[1][2] It is recognised that it could also have been written in the first half of the 1st century AD, but in any case before the Destruction of the Second Temple in 70 AD.[2] Another work by the same title, written in Hebrew, was found among the Dead Sea Scrolls (4Q381:17).[1]
