 | | The Septuagint Version accepted first by the Alexandrian Jews, and afterwards by all the Greek-speaking countries, helped to spread among the Gentiles the idea and the expectation of the Messias, and to introduce into Greek the theological terminology that made it a most suitable instrument for the propagation of the Gospel of Christ. | | | Nevertheless, in spite of these divergencies the name of the Septuagint Version is universally given to the entire collection of the Old Testament books in the Greek Bible adopted by the Eastern Church. | | | The Septuagint Version is first mentioned in a letter of Aristeas to his brother Philocrates. |

| | Septuagint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Septuagint (LXX) is the name commonly given in the West to the Koine Greek Alexandrine text of the Hebrew Bible (Tanakh/Old Testament) produced some time between the third to first century BC. | | | The Septuagint Bible includes additional books of the old Jewish canon beyond those contained in the Hebrew Bible, including the books of the Maccabees, much beloved and revered by Jews today. | | | Although these earlier versions were the ones used by the early Christian church and are the basis for translations into other languages such as Gothic (ca 380), it is the Septuagint which is the basis for translations that Orthodox churches use today. |

| | The Septuagint, or LXX is the Jewish Scriptures in Greek. | | | Finally, the Septuagint was the first Bible of the early Christian church. | | | The Septuagint had given the Hellenists a Bible in the universal language of the New Testament world. |

| | Septuagint |
| | Septuagint (sometimes abbreviated LXX) is the name given to the Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures. | | | The New Testament writers also relied heavily on the Septuagint, as a majority of Old Testament quotes cited in the New Testament are quoted directly from the Septuagint (others are quoted from the Hebrew texts). | | | The term "Apocrypha" was coined by the fifth-century biblical scholar, Jerome, and generally refers to the set of ancient Jewish writings written during the period between the last book in the Jewish scriptures, Malachi, and the arrival of Jesus Christ. |

| | This was the adoption of the Septuagint by the Christian church. | | | The Septuagint was also the Bible of the early Greek Fathers, and helped to mold dogma; it furnished proof-texts to both parties in the Arian controversy. | | | The church adopted his Daniel in place of the inadequate Septuagint version, which has survived in only one Greek manuscript; but the date when the change took place is unknown and the early history of the two Greek texts is obscure. |

| | Karen H. Jobes and Moises Silva on the Septuagint |
| | The Septuagint also has great value for the study of the development of the Hebrew text itself, for it was apparently translated from a Hebrew text that was earlier than, and not identical to, the Hebrew text from which today’s modern translations of the Bible are made, the Masoretic text. | | | After New Testament times, the Septuagint, not the Hebrew text, was the Bible used by the early church fathers and councils. | | | After the coming of Jesus Christ, the Septuagint was the primary theological and literary context within which the writers of the New Testament worked, for they were primarily Jewish men writing in Greek about their religion in the light of the resurrection of Jesus Christ. |

| | It is understandable, therefore, that Jerome, in his critiques of the Septuagint, emphasized passages from Hosea and Zechariah to support his contention that the New Testament authors diverged from the Septuagint whenever the Greek departed in meaning from the Hebrew. | | | Matthew relies on the Septuagint for the assertion that the Messiah's mother was to be a virgin (Matthew 1.23). | | | However, there were cases where the Septuagint and the Hebrew differed in meaning, and the New Testament followed one against the sense of the other. |

| | An Historical Account of the Septuagint Version |
| | In examining the Pentateuch of the Septuagint in connection with the Hebrew text, and with the copies preserved by the Samaritans in their crooked letters, it is remarkable that in very many passages the reading of the Septuagint accord with the Samaritan copies where they differ from the Jewish. | | | The Septuagint version having been current for about three centuries before the time when the books of the New Testament were written, it is not surprising that the Apostles should have used it more often than not in making citations from the Old Testament. | | | Another important point on which the Septuagint stands in close connection with the New Testament is the general phraseology of the version, -- a phraseology in which the traces of Hebrew elements are most marked, but with regard to which we should mistake greatly if we supposed that it originated with the New Testament writers. |

| | When the Septuagint was made, most Jews in the land of Israel spoke Aramaic, a language that is closely related to Hebrew. | | | The evangelist had created a genealogical system in which everybody who was anybody belonged to a "seventh generation": e.g., Abraham to the 21st generation, David to the 35th, and Jesus to the 77th (details). | | | In six columns, it contained a Hebrew text; the same text in Greek script; the text of Aquila; the text of Symmachus; a reconstructed text of the original Septuagint; and the text of Theodotion. |

| | The Septuagint became the Old Testament of the church, but its contents varied in differing regions, and it includes several books that were not recognized by Jews in Palestine. | | | Because the Church grew from Greek-speaking synagogues, early Christians, who also spoke Greek, used the Septuagint, which was at that time the official Jewish translation of the Bible used by Greek-speaking Jews in the synagogue. | | | The canon of scripture is determined by the Church, and there are differences among the various church bodies. |

| | A New Look at the Origin of the Bible: The SEPTUAGINT -- Is It a Fraud or Forgery? |
| | The Septuagint Text was the standard text used by Jews in the synagogues in the Gentile world, and also became the standard text used by early Christians. | | | It might be said that the Septuagint is not a single version but a collection of versions made by various authors, who differed greatly in their methods and their knowledge of Hebrew. | | | Its existence in a language which could be read throughout the world made even the Gentiles familiar with the beliefs of the Jews, and their wonderful history which would of course include the guiding Providence of God, and his promise of a Saviour to come, throughout the nations. |

| | It is now evident that the Septuagint circulated in Palestine long enough by the first century C.E. to have undergone a Palestinian revision and it is apparent that it is that revision that became the Greek Old Testament in the early church (Sundberg 1964:86-94). | | | Except for Sirach, which was sometimes quoted as scripture in the Talmud and which continued to be copied in Hebrew in Judaism until the twelfth century, all surviving extra-canonical (apocryphal) Jewish religious literature was preserved by Christians. | | | I shall use "canon" in the strict sense, as it was used by the church fathers, to mean a closed list of books, authoritative for religious faith and practice, nothing to be added, nothing subtracted. |

| | Biblical allegorizing by no means began with Philo, as is so frequently and erroneously repeated, nor even with the Talmud or the oral Kabbalah, but permeates the very text of the Bible itself, and finds its ultimate origin in the construction and nature of the Hamitic-Semitic languages current in the ancient world. | | | However, we did not incorporate his wholesale change of (Hebrew work) (Lord) to "Jehovah"; for the Septuagint term better represents the ancient Hebrew practice of pronouncing Adonai, Lord, instead of the ineffable Tetragrammaton whenever the latter appeared in the text being read. | | | Since Thomson omitted additional material in the Book of Esther found in the Septuagint Bible, we have restored it to its proper place in the text. |

Even so, her observations about the occasion for writing the letter reflect events throughout this period. | | | In her review of modern translations of the Septuagint she discusses the NETS Bible, a work that assumes Hebrew influence on the Greek; and La Bible d'Alexandrie, a French project that treats the LXX as solely a Greek text. |
