Have you ever wondered about
Have you ever wondered about the origins of the Bible we read today? Ever heard of the Septuagint? This remarkable book is more than just a historical curiosity; it's a key piece of the biblical puzzle. The Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, or what we commonly refer to as the Old Testament. The term Septuagint – from the Latin ‘Septuaginta’, meaning seventy - is rooted in a fascinating legend. This name is a nod to the tale of the seventy, or in some accounts, seventy-two Jewish scholars who were commissioned to translate the Torah, the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, into Greek. This monumental task was undertaken in the third century BCE, in Alexandria, Egypt, a city that was then a bustling hub of knowledge and culture. This wasn't a simple translation job, mind you.
The seventy scholars, or so the legend goes, worked independently but ended up with remarkably similar translations, a feat that was seen as a miraculous sign of divine approval. There's a certain mystery, a certain aura, that surrounds the Septuagint, stemming from this story of its creation and its pivotal role in making the Hebrew scriptures accessible to a wider audience. The Septuagint, thus, serves as a bridge between the original Hebrew texts and the New Testament. It's a testament to the power of translation, and the profound impact it can have on cultural understanding and religious practice. But the Septuagint’s story doesn't end here; in fact, it's just the beginning. As we delve deeper into its contents, its influence on Jesus, and its place in the Catholic Church, the true significance of this extraordinary book will come to light.
