Septuagint

The Septuagint is an ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, created between the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE. Its name comes from the Latin word for "seventy," referring to the legend that seventy scholars worked on the translation. The Septuagint was widely used in the early Christian church and is important for understanding the Bible's history, as it influenced many early Christian texts. It serves as a key resource for scholars studying ancient languages, biblical texts, and the cultural interactions between Jewish and Greek civilizations.
