Then they started saying something about her turning into a demonic spirit. Too far out for me to grasp.

LXX means 70 in Roman numerals.
It stands for the translation of the Hebrew Scriptures into Greek (the commonly understood language) by 72 scholars (6 from each of the 12 tribes) made around 280 BC or so. 70 is a rounded number for 72. The term LXX is an abbreviation for the term Septuagint which is what that version is usually called.
I think DSS stands for Dead Sea Scrolls.

Yes, I knew it started with a "L" but could not remember the name.

There are several versions of the LXX available in English.
I have three of them:
One was translated into English by Sir Lancelot C.L. Brenton.
Mine says it was originally published in 1851.
Mine is from the sixth printing dated February 1997.
It has the Apocrypha in it that was included in the older King James Bible.
One is called The Complete Apostles' Bible. It contain the Brenton Old Testament and a NT translation by Paul Esposito.
It has a copyright date of 2003.
Another is called The Apostolic Bible Polyglot.
It has a copyright date of 1996.
It contains the Greek text with Strongs numbers for both the Old and New Testaments with an interlinear literal translation.
There is an online version available called the Thompson version. I posted a link for this where it could be downloaded in 3 pdf files a while back.
