Your reading a translation

Probably went to go look for Brother LeDeay's Hebrew New Testament?

Re: The LXX
If I had meaningful data about the LXX I would share it. Some day I still hope to research the entire subject. We did not translate out of it in college.
Until then...

Re: The LXX
The LXX reads differently than your average English Bible. There are more reasons for those difference than I am aware of.

The reason is the English Bible uses the Masoretic Text.

Re: The LXX
It depends on which English translation one uses. I am unaware of any major English Bible that exclusively uses one translation of the OT.
The preface of the translation should give the details.
Since LXX refers to any Greek translation of Hebrew Scriptures, I resist any broad statements about the LXX. It was done by different people in different places over time.
Some translations are more closely translated than others.

You know what Scott, it is easier to name all the English translations which don't use the MT. The majority of English Translations use the MT.

That's nice. Thank you for supplying that information.

Interesting. So, Scott, which is older? LXX or the MT?

Do you have a recommendation? What and where is a “good” LXX?
