	Septuagint - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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.
		Modern scholarship holds that the LXX was translated and composed over the course of the 3rd through 1st centuries BC(E), beginning with the Torah.
		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.

	Untitled
		The LXX "quotations" and references in the Old Testament which differ significantly from the Hebrew Scriptures were taken directly from the already completed New Testament writings, and then transplanted back into the Greek O.T. translations in an effort to harmonize the different readings.
		Many LXX defenders who quote people like Justin Martyr, Philo, or Josephus, in support of a pre-Christian LXX version, overlook the fact that these men are merely parroting the same information found in the Letter of Aristeas.
		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.

	Good question
		Nevertheless, even when Josephus agrees with the LXX, this is not necessarily an indication that he had the LXX text before him, since he may have incorporated an exegetical tradition which had been known earlier to the translators of the LXX.
		The LXX was cited as scripture by Diaspora Jewry consistently in pre-Christian times, was used in synagogues through the 6th century AD, and was used at Qumran in pre-Christian times similarly.
		Quotes from the LXX as being "scripture" by non-Christian Jews abound in the various classes of Jewish literature (in Greek) of the period.

	The LXX and Masoreh
		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 earliest (non-fragmentary) LXX texts are from the collection called the Chester Beatty Papyri, all of which date from the first through 4th century (CE).
		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.

	Septuagint, LXX, Versions of the Bible, History of the Bible
		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 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.

	Trinity Journal: Aramaic Daniel and Greek Daniel: A Literary Comparison (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		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.
		Consequently the climax of the LXX's story is a confession of submission by Darius to the God whom he had been tricked into trying to usurp.
		He finds that the MT uses specific terms for the different kinds of revelation, a usage not reflected in LXX: hence "the difference between divine revelation and the type on offer from the Chaldeans is not as clearly drawn in the LXX, nor is the impact of Nebuchadnezzar's confession heightened to the same extent" (p.

	The Preservation Of The Hebrew: The LXX? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The only real testimony we have of the LXX being translated around 250 B.C. is the letter of Aristeas to his brother Philocrates (although it is a stretch to say that it proves the existence of the Septuagint).
		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.
		Seeing that there was no LXX while the New Testament was being written none of the Old Testament quotations could have come from the LXX, but the LXX (being made after the New Testament was complete) could have copied the New Testament's translations (in quotations) of the Hebrew Old Testament.

	Messiah Part III
		A new one was needed because the Jews abandoned the LXX and commissioned their own (Aquilla's) becasue the Chruch had come to use the LXX as it's Bbile, and they wanted to get away form the Christian's Messianic reading.
		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.
		Nevertheless, even when Josephus agrees with the LXX, this is not necessarily an indication that he had the LXX text before him, since he may have incorporated an exegetical tradition which had been known earlier to the translators of the LXX.

	[B-Greek] The LXX phrase ERCOMENOS hHXEI in Habakkuk 2:3
		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.
		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.

		The issues involving the LXX that are most acute for Bible translation are its use in the textual criticism of the Hebrew Bible (how literary, translational, lexicographical, and textual questions get sorted out); the use and influence of the LXX in the NT; and the LXX as the scripture of the early church.

		As more people became Greek-speaking it was necessary to translate the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek.
		The standard Greek translation is known as the Septuagint (from a tradition that it was made by 70 scholars in 70 days) thus the abbreviation LXX.
		It is a valuable witness to the text of the OT alongside the Hebrew (MT), and was often quoted by the (Greek speaking) authors of the NT.

	What is the Septuagint?
		Proponents of the invisible LXX will try to claim that Origen didn't translate the Hebrew into Greek, but only copied the LXX into the second column of his Hexapla.
		"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.
		Unfortunately, the acceptance of the existence of the Septuagint on such thin evidence is based solely on pride and voracity.
