| | Septuagint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Relatively complete manuscripts of the LXX include the Codex Vaticanus and the Codex Sinaiticus of the 4th century AD/CE and the Codex Alexandrinus of the 5th century. | | | The Septuagint (LXX) is the name commonly given in the West to the Koine Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) produced from the third to first century BC. | | | The Eastern Orthodox Church still prefers to use LXX as the basis for translating the Old Testament into other languages, and the Greek Orthodox Church (which has no need for translation) continues to use it in its liturgy even today. |

| | Almost half of the verses in LXX Esther are not found in MT Esther. | | | In many cases, it seems the LXX is based on a version of the Hebrew different from the standard, Masoretic text (MT) of the 9th c. | | | Although Origen was a very careful scholar, it seems that he composed his version of the LXX from several different manuscripts and preferred readings that brought the text into conformity with the Hebrew. |

| | The LXX got its name by supposedly having been written by six scholars from each of the twelve tribes of Israel who traveled to the city of Alexandria in Egypt, where they miraculously produced their Greek translation from the Old Testament Hebrew Scriptures. | | | Those who defend the LXX version today are men like James White and Doug Kutilek who do not believe that any Bible or any text in any language is now the inspired, infallible, complete and inerrant word of God. | | | The Bible itself contradicts the idea that God would approve of an authoritative Greek translation of the Old Testament Scriptures that would then be used by the Lord Jesus and the apostles in the making of the New Testament. |

| | Septuagint, LXX, Versions of the Bible, History of the Bible |
| | The term is derived from the Latin word septuaginta ("seventy"; hence, the customary abbreviation LXX), which refers to the 70 (or 72) translators who were once believed to have been appointed by the Jewish high priest of the time to render the Hebrew Bible into Greek at the behest of the Hellenistic emperor Ptolemy II. | | | The Septuagint, commonly designated LXX, is the oldest Greek version of the Old Testament of the Bible, the title "seventy" referring to the tradition that it was the work of 70 translators (or 72 in some traditions). | | | The translation was made from the Hebrew Bible by Hellenistic Jews during the period 275 - 100 BC at Alexandria. |

| | The LXX and Masoreh |
| | Unfortunately, there is no complete "Qumran Bible," and so OT translators still must rely on later Hebrew manuscripts, with cross-references made to the LXX, to the Samaritan version of the Torah, and to various commentaries/paraphrases of Hebrew texts. | | | The most important LXX manuscripts (because of their stage of preservation, text quality, and relative age) are the following codices (books), commonly referred to as the Great Uncials. | | | Still, the LXX gave Hellenistic (Greek-speaking) Jews a Bible to study and would later become the standard Biblical text for Christians (until the language of Latin became more dominant). |

| | The Preservation Of The Hebrew: The LXX? |
| | Some of the verses that the LXX supposedly preserves from the Hebrew text (which are not contained in the Hebrew) are: Genesis 4:8; 1 Samuel 14:41; 1 Kings 8:12; Deuteronomy 32:43. | | | The LXX is hardly the "bible" of Jesus and the first century Jews. | | | And there dwelt an old prophet in Baithel; and his sons came and told him of all the works that the man of God on that day in Baithal, and the words which he spoke to the king: and they turned the face of their father. |

| | [B-Greek] The LXX phrase ERCOMENOS hHXEI in Habakkuk 2:3 |
| | My explanation for this `meaningless' translation is that the LXX translators tried to mimic the infinitive absolute form of the MT, which was a brilliant attempt but resulted in a bad translation. | | | I believe that the LXX phrase, ERCOMENOS hHXEI found in Habakkuk 2:3 does not actually make sense and is really a bad translation from the Hebrew to the Greek. | | | Since both ERCOMENOS and hHXEI have the same contextual meaning, `to come'; and both are in the future tense, the literal translation of ERCOMENOS hHXEI found in Habakkuk 2:3 is `while he will be coming, he will come', which is meaningless. |

| | Meadowcroft begins at Daniel 4 because this chapter in the LXX has the greatest divergence from the MT. After discussing the topic of narrator's stance, he concludes that "the MT narrator of Daniel is more covert than his LXX counterpart, and this results in a more multi-faceted story. | | | The LXX centres the conflict more around the arrogation of divine powers to himself by Darius. | | | After an introduction that sets out the problem and surveys narrative criticism, the LXX as a translation, and textual witnesses to the LXX, he covers the chapters of Daniel in the order 4, 5, 6, 3, 2, and 7; he then has a chapter surveying differences between the Hebrew MT and LXX in chaps. |

| | I am NOT suggesting that the Hebrew Text underlying the LXX was itself a major substrate in the DSS; merely, that the various textual traditions at Qumran had knowledge of this strain of text. | | | For this reason the Jewish anti-missionaries claim that the LXX only existed in the first five books before the time of Chrsit and that Chrsitians translated the rest, either late first century, or some go so far as to claim that Origen (4th century) made the trasnlations of prophetic books. | | | Nor must we discount the possibility that Josephus followed a tradition independent of both the MT and the LXX, as may be seen from the fact that he agrees with Pseudo-Philo in some places that diverge from both the MT and the LXX. |

| | What is the Septuagint? |
| | Unfortunately, the acceptance of the existence of the Septuagint on such thin evidence is based solely on pride and voracity. | | | Even if such a spurious document as the LXX really did exist, how could a Bible critic, who, in reference to the King James Bible, say that "No translation has the authority of the original language, " claim in the same breath that his pet LXX has equal authority with the Hebrew Original? | | | "What then," one might ask, "of the numerous quotes in the New Testament of the Old Testament that are ascribed to the LXX?" The LXX they speak of is nothing more than the second column of Origen's Hexapia. |
