The Septuagint is the Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures (Old Testament) and used by the early Church. The Septuagint is also called the translation of the seventy because tradition states that the Septuagint was translated by seventy. In academia, the Septuagint is often abbreviated as LXX (the Roman numberal for seventy) in honor of this tradition. This site is a joint project between the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America and the Hellenic Bible Society. The aim of Septuagint.Bible is to: Make available the living Septuagint text as it is used in the public worship and private devotion in the Orthodox Christian Church worldwide. Promote easy accessibility to the Septuagint Publish a properly edited edition of the Septuagint for use in the Divine Service of the Orthodox Church. An important part of this effort entails the ongoing efforts of the Hellenic Bible Society to produce a properly corrected text that addresses many of the errant mistakes made through various editions over the years. This site will serve as an official clearinghouse of that Septuagint text. The Hellenic Bible Society, under the leadership of Dr. Michalis Chatzigiannis, has just published the definitive edition of the Septuagint book of Psalms. Until such time as definitively edited texts are available, we will be providing the generally available text of the Septuagint. Septuagint interlinear online free.

  • A New English Translation of the Septuagint. 07 Judges
    07-Jdg-NETS-4.qxd 11/10/2009 10:21 PM Page 195 JUDGES TO THE READER EDITION OF GREEK TEXT To date there is no fully critical edition of LXX Judges. The Göttingen edition has not yet appeared, and the edition of Brooke and Maclean is a “diplomatic” edition in which the main text is basically that of Codex Vaticanus (B). The NETS translation of Judges, therefore, is based on A. Rahlfs, Septuaginta. Id est Vetus Testamentum graece iuxta LXX interpretes, 2 vols.(Stuttgart: Württembergische Bibelanstalt, 1935). In Judges Rahlfs based his edition on the readings of about twenty manuscripts. He identified two main textual traditions, which he believed were so diverse that they amounted to separate recensions (editions) of the book. He printed these as separate texts, designated A and B. NETS Judges, accordingly, offers a translation of both the A and the B texts. Rahlfs based his A text upon Codex Alexandrinus (A) and two groups of manuscripts representing the recensions of the LXX associated, respectively, with Origen (c. 185–253 CE) and Lucian (c. 250–312 CE). His B text was based upon Codex Vaticanus (B). OVERVIEW OF THE TEXT(S) OF JUDGES Subsequent scholarship has refined Rahlfs’ classifications. The manuscripts which are seen as witnesses to an A-type of text are now divided into three groups, AI, AII and AIII, of which AI corresponds fairly closely to Rahlfs’ “Origenic” manuscripts, and AII to his “Lucianic” manuscripts. Similarly, the B-type of text is now held to be represented by two related but distinct manuscript groups.

  • THE LXX TRANSLATION of ESTHER a Paraphrastic Translation of MT Or a Free Translation of a Rewritten Version?
    THE LXX TRANSLATION OF ESTHER A Paraphrastic Translation of MT or a Free Translation of a Rewritten Version? Emanuel Tov It can be said that the Septuagint version of Esther (Esth-LXX) has been the stepchild of LXX research over the past half century. While several monographs, some of them book-length, have been devoted to the ‘other’ Greek version, invariably named ‘Lucianic’,1 ‘A’, ‘alpha’ Text, or AT,2 little attention has been paid to the main Greek version. To the best of my knowledge, the text-critical value of this translation has not been studied in depth.3 The present paper is limited to brief 1 This version is contained in manuscripts that in other books contain the ‘Lucianic’ revision, but has little to do with that tradition, see R. Hanhart, Esther, Septuaginta, Vetus Testamentum graecum etc., VIII, 3, Göttingen 19832, 87–95. 2 In chronological sequence: C.A.

  • THE PRAYER of MANASSES (Manasseh)
    THE PRAYER OF MANASSES (Manasseh) O Lord Almighty God of our fathers; Abraham, Isaac and Jacob; and of their righteous seed. Who has made the heaven and earth, with all the ornament thereof. Who has bound the sea by the word of thy commandment. Who has shut up the deep, and sealed it by thy terrible and glorious name. Whom all men fear, and tremble before thy power. For the majesty of thy glory cannot be borne, and thine angry threatening toward sinners is importable. But thy merciful promise is un-measurable and un-searchable. For thou are the Most High Lord, of great compassion, long-suffering, very merciful; and repents the evils of men. Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness has promised repentance and forgiveness to them that have sinned against thee. And of thine infinite mercies has appointed repentance unto sinners, that they may be saved. Thou therefore, O Lord, that are the God of the just, has not appointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, which have not sinned against thee. But thou has appointed repentance unto me that am a sinner. For I have sinned above the number of the sands of the sea. My transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied. My transgressions are multiplied, and I am not worthy to behold and see the height of heaven for the multitude of mine iniquities. I am bowed down with many iron bands; that I cannot lift up mine head, neither have any release. For I have provoked thy wrath, and done evil before thee.

THE DEATH OF JACOB NARRATIVE CONVENTIONS IN GENESIS 47.28-50.26 BY KERRY D. LEE A THESIS SUBMITTED TO THE COLLEGE OF HUMANITIES AND SOCIAL SCIENCE IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY SCHOOL OF DIVINITY THE UNIVERSITY OF EDINBURGH 2013 ABSTRACT Regarding the structural logic behind Jacob’s death-bed story (Gen 47.28-50.26), biblical scholars historically have seen its enigmatic features as evidence of diachronic development. Those who treat it as an intentionally composed whole typically either simply assume that intention or else argue for it using only basic logical structures (chiasm, parallel). The story’s composition is better explained, however, through the lens of conventional structures, especially that of a Hebrew death-bed type-scene. In the first chapter I overview approaches to the passage in biblical scholarship and evaluate recent synchronic approaches.

  • The Samaritans During the Hasmonean Period: the Affirmation of a Discrete Identity?
    religions Article The Samaritans during the Hasmonean Period: The Affirmation of a Discrete Identity? Jonathan Bourgel Department of theology and religious studies, Laval University, Québec City, QC G1V 0A6, Canada; [email protected] Received: 14 October 2019; Accepted: 8 November 2019; Published: 14 November 2019 Abstract: The Hasmonean period (167–63 BCE) is increasingly seen in current scholarship as formative for Samaritan identity and, in particular, as the moment when the Samaritans emerged as a self-contained group separate from the Jews. The first aim of this paper is to give an overview of the condition of the Samaritans during this period. In largely chronological order, the first part of the article discusses the situation of the Samaritans on the eve of the Hasmonean revolt, at the outbreak of the uprising, and under the rule of the first Hasmoneans. The second aim is to review the commonly held causes of the emergence, at this time, of the Samaritans as a discrete community, such as, for instance, the destruction of the Samaritan temple, the production of the Samaritan Pentateuch and the appearance of anti-Samaritan polemics in Jewish literature. The paper concludes that the Hasmoneans’ attitude toward the Samaritans cannot simply be seen as one of hatred and rejection as is generally assumed. Besides; although some of the historical processes beginning in the Hasmonean period had far-reaching implications for the parting of the ways between Jews and Samaritans; their immediate effects should not be overstated. Keywords: Samaritans; Samaritan identity; Hasmonean period; Jewish-Samaritan relations The constitution of the Samaritans as a discrete community is generally seen as the outcome of a process of mutual estrangement between them and the Jews.

  • Introduction to the Historical Books
    Introduction to the Historical Books The main purpose of the Historical Books is not to give “scientific history”, but “theological history”. Two very important aspects of this theological history demand more emphasis: the importance of the Covenant (“I will be your God and you will be my people” = God’s promise) but there is a big IF… namely, if you are faithful to the Covenant. The Historical Books are not only the story that God will always fulfil his promise, but very explicitly that the rulers, be they judges or kings, were most of the time not faithful to the Covenant. There is a similarity of the narratives for all the judges (the Twelve Judges) insofar as they all began well, but ended badly. This is also true of the Story of the Kings. The people, who asked Samuel for a king, wanted “to be like the other nations”, which they were not; they were the People of the Covenant, and should have been relying on God for protection and not on a king. All kings, except three (e.g. Josiah) after Solomon were bad. Indeed it was Solomon’s foolish way of ruling that led to the split of the United Kingdom into Israel (North) and Judah (South) in 931 BCE.
