Acts 2:24 Redux
#20
From:

http://www.skypoint.com/~waltzmn/OTCrit.html

Quote:We cannot detain ourselves here with the various recensions of the LXX. A statement by Jerome has led many scholars to believe that there were recensions by Hesychius (associated with Egypt) and Lucian (associated with Constantinople). These recensions cannot, however, be identified. (There are manuscripts which contain the "Lucianic" text -- but there is good evidence that this type of text, or at least the majority of its characteristic readings, predate Lucian.) In Christian times, there was the "Hexaplar" recension of Origen, who placed in six columns the Hebrew text, a Greek transliteration, and the translations of Aquila (a woodenly literal Jewish translation said by Epiphanius to have dated from the second century though there are hints that portions of it are older; the translation of Ecclesiasticus, for instance, is Aquila-like), Symmachus (a late translator who provided a clear rendering), LXX, and Theodotian (also thought to be older than its historical second century date; it seems a revision of LXX which is freer in style but closer to the MT in text). Origin is known to have revised his LXX text to more nearly match the MT (while incorporating critical symbols to show what he had done), but later copyists simply took the text without copying the symbols. This seems to have been the last great revision of the Septuagint.

The question then arises, why did the LXX undergo such extreme revision? Why did later scholars see the need to revise, and even offer different translations? Why was this version different from all the other versions?

The answer: While there may have been many reasons, such as an uneven Greek style, or perhaps multiple translations of certain books which had to be reconciled, there seems to be only one basic one: Unlike the other versions, the early LXX does not agree entirely with the MT.

The bottom line:

If you think, for one fleeting moment, that the Apostles of Meshikha would have used a corrupt translation in a language foreign to both the OT and the Gospel in creating the New Testament - you might as well throw your Bible, and your Faith, away because both would be junk.
