Jumps around and, IMO, is not confident in what he claims. It is easy to see that the Greek New Testament quotes the LXX. The LXX is older than the DSS. the MT was created after the New Testament was written. Pick apart the LXX all you want, the LXX is older than the DSS and the MT. Of the extant manuscripts of the LXX, DSS and MT, the oldest LXX manuscripts are older than the DSS and MT. The DSS proves that the LXX is much closer to the original and lost Hebrew Bible than is the MT that was created after Christianity began.
Agreed. His way of explaining textual primacy was pretty awkward, backward & tortured. Was hard to follow. Seemed to purposely do this so as to protect the culture feelings around the masoretic.
I have a question, my family and I only knew of the Septuagint we recognized it as a gift from God. I Dιscovered later in life as in a young adult that there were groups of Christians who used an Old Testament called the Masoretic Text. My question is as follows, why is the Septuagint rejected by so many Western Christians?
For three centuries, the KJV in America was the only translation. Its public domain status ensures cheap reprinting that even the poorest person can afford. These poor, typically uneducated people grow up under its influence, and when they start reading other translations that quote from better sources than Medieval Jewish Masoretic texts the KJV is based on, they think that version is corrupt rather than the one they grew up with. So, to answer your question, the KJV-Only movement is rooted mostly in ignorance, poverty and tradition. It's mainly propagated by the Independent Fundamentalist Holyroller Preacher crowd who never received a formal education in Biblical languages or critical study, and preys on the ignorance of his flock. There's a _ton_ of these guys in America.
Because it is an earlier translation, more accurate. If a more accurate version contradicts one that your family has held dear for hundreds of year, it will be ignored. Meaning your version has been adopted in convenience and not in accuracy. Could possibly be wrong. Which would discredit generations of faithful service, etc. obviously it would be rejected, or your ancestors would look like fools. So to save face they blindly adheare to common understanding instead of attempting to use more accurate information to update their beliefs. Comments dripping with sarcasm are ignorant because they defend pride over understanding. I hope you can take an unbiased look at my comment. If possible. They are.
@@HunterCrim4767 hi, I am a bit confused by your comments, are you alluding to Moseretic text being more accurate than the Septuagint? Thanks in advice for your answer.
@@latinboyyy305 Yes, I had the same question. But we read it in English so is he saying we should learn Masoretic or use a Bible translated from Masoretic? Thanks, all fascinating.
Deut 23:2 in The Septuagint (the original authentic bible) doesn't say "Bastard".. it says "one born of a harlot shall not enter into the assembly of the Lord."
@@rennyskiathitis8178 No, the original Old Testament was not written in Greek but there are contesting views about whether the Hebrew behind the LXX or the Hebrew of the Masoretic Text are the more original, more trustworthy text. The LXX certainly was the original Bible of the Apostles.
@st r As the professor pointed out; the Masoretic text is younger than the LXX texts and no-one knows if the MAsoretic is translated from the LXX or if it was taken from Hebrew. The reason being that the Masoretic text was written in Saint Petersberg Russia in 1008AD
As revered as Chuck was he was also known to have promoted one or two falsehoods. This claim is certainly one. Indeed, such a claim is impossible to authenticate since Christ and the apostles never intimated anything close to this. Nor can one reach the conclusion that Christ quoted from the Septuagint by comparing texts as this would amount to merely asserting the consequent.
What if God _actually _*__meant_* to use Greek for the 1st 15 centuries of common literacy *_because that is exactly what HE DID DO FOR THE 1ST 15 CENTURIES OF COMMON LITERACY_* ??

the original Septuagint in which 72 rabbis were forced to translate from hebrew into greek was only the Torah the first five books being Genesis to Deuteronomy. No one has that copy Septuagint removed Isaiah 2:22-30 and 36????
@@joshportie The 1611 AVKJ is the most accurate one. It was written with the blood of many saints. To understand the incredible effects that that version, which is the pure Word of God, had in all aspects of life at that time , one must study history in depth to capitulate the bravado The Word has conquered in science, education, economy and morality. All that because written English became very much accessible to even the minor classes. Scotland is a perfect example of that. It truly was the coming out of darkness into great light.
What was the name of the king's printer that printed the 1611 King James Bible?? Here's a couple of very revealing hints... Truth or Consequences and The Price is Right.
The original Hebrew does not exist. The masoretic Old Testament is dated around 1000AD. The Greek Septuagint and Samaritan Pentateuch predate the masoretic text by hundreds of years.
@@davidkehrer7342 Yes the Septuagint was written before the Hebrew texts and was a figment of the imagination of 70 the rabbis that created it. In fact all the bible texts are written long after, the OT was written only around the time of the 2nd temple and is based on history and mythology but the NT was pure mythology compiled from several of the new cults around 1800 years ago much like the Quran all is pure BS.
@@truthhurts6327 I was being facetious but in fact the Torah was written by Moses during the 40 years in the desert and copied by all the tribes. The rules for copying a Totah were also given by Moses and today there are hundreds of thousands of Torahs and only a few differences between them but no difference in wording.
Comes across as sloppy due to informality of speech. At roughly 19:00 mention of King James Version (KJV) as some sort of dominant text, is false in that this might apply to English speaking protestants, but not Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholics. The Orthodox, which out number the protestants, use the Greek Bible, or variants in church languages, like Church Slavonic - in effect the Septuagint (pronounced SEP-too-uh-JINT). So, its use is wide spread. As to the significance of the differences in the Septuagint and the Masoretic, at roughly 20:20 are not small. The Masoretic has changed or omitted text that serve to negate Jesus' compliance with prophecy, among other differences. Your takeaway from this ought to be: 1. there is value in learning about the LXX (common shorthand for the Septuagint) 2. there are significant differences between the LXX and the Masoretic, 3. the LXX has greater commonality to the Dead Sea Scrolls than the Masoretic, and 4. the LXX predates the Masoretic (first 5 books) by at least 1200 years. The latter 2 points were made by the speaker if you listened closely. Also, some of Jesus' sayings cannot be understood without the LXX. There is more to this.
@MadMax™ Called away and lost what I had started. But here goes with version #2. As to your second point. I do not see the Jews in second place. Jesus came to the Jews first. I see two tracks, which is likely not canonical with any of the major flavors of Christianity, but is the only way I reconcile what Jesus said. The Jews must follow the Law of Moses. This is not the same as having two sets of dishes. Study Jesus' parables. When passing over, righteous Jews will have the chance to see Who Jesus is and therefore be saved. The other way is for Gentiles, and is easier. As to the Masoretic changing what preceded it (pre-1000 AD +/), I'll provide one reference, but there are many more, including from established scholars. Note that the video ^^ says that the LXX is more compliant with the Dead Sea Scrolls than is the Masoretic. About the 20:00 mark. This link below is pretty substantial but is not by any means comprehensive. preachersinstitute.com/2015/08/31/masoretic-text-vs-original-hebrew/ Good luck with your quest.
I have a question, how are those that support the LXX doing so since it no longer exist. I understand we don’t have ANYTHING original, NT OT, Greek Hebrew, Nothing, nada, zip, zero! Is the LXX preserved in other writings?
@@Davey3 The LXX (Septuagint) DOES exist today. It exists directly in the Greek Orthodox Church, in its liturgies and related texts. It lives in translation in Church Slavonic and other tongues. I understand there is a variant in the Samaritan language/Aramaic. It lives in the various Codices (Codexes) in libraries and monasteries. Did you listen to what the speaker said, and to what I wrote above? Don't know what you mean by "original". The LXX Codexes are very old. The Dead Sea Scrolls are very old. There are fragments in various places and types that are very old. Being mostly ink on parchment, these must be copied onto new parchment as the parchment ages. What is your expectation as to "original"? Is there a Tanakh in ancient Hebrew script in its entirety? I do not think so. Is there a Septuagint dated from 200 BCE? I do not think so. But what was said +/- by the speaker - from memory - and what I reported, the Septuagint (LXX) is more faithful to the original Hebrew than the Masoretic text. If Jesus did not exist, Jewish scholars would be all over the LXX as a means to determine what the "original" Tanakh said. But because the Masoretic text has been edited to omit passages that support Jesus's life story, there is no interest in doing so. This is the case even though the LXX has complete or better texts with no messianic implications. Hanukkah marks a very dark period in Jewish history. The Seleucids did great damage to the Hebrew text inventory. Passages were lost. This is well before Christianity. The Greek language LXX was not as ravaged by the Seleucids. This may help: ruclips.net/video/Xe4R9ThNA5g/видео.html
Own Petard Thank you for the reply, I will try to listen again to what is said but my attention span is short today and the speaker needs to get straight to the point instead of singing memories by Barbara Streisand All I know is the manuscripts we have are not the originals but copies of copies and I heard a man say we don’t have the original LXX just like we don’t have any original NT manuscripts their all copies of copies. They are preserved in the copies but there are no originals at all only copies of all religious books. So i think my Questioned is still valid and If I understand you correctly, the LXX is also preserved in the Greek copies of it! Yes? Original meaning the actual written scroll by the actual author that’s what is meant by original, hope this makes sense.
@@Davey3 Cannot use your definition of "original" for any religious text so far as I am aware. Applies to Judaism, Christianity, even Mormonism. As to the copies, there are variations in all of them among the various copies. Mostly small within a "type", like the LXX as a type or the Masoretic as a type. But there are bigger differences between the LXX and Masoretic, for example. There is a Greek version of the LXX still used by the the Greek Orthodox today. It is highly congruent with the various "ancient" Codices, such as the Vatican and the Alexandrian, etc.
It you don't trust the Septuagint which is actually just the name of the number LXX which is 70. The current one is not related to the original lost one. The problem is if its not the original and you don't except it, what other written scriptures/writings are available? What else is there to translate from? The Torah was translated from the LXX. There is no original Hebrew text even the present Hebrew was translated to Hebrew from the LXX. And there is no known original Hebrew language because Hebrew. was part of a family language that included more then 20 languages.
God knew exactly what He was doing documenting His word exclusively in the first language with vowels and grammar and the acuity of Greek for the first 15 centuries of human literacy.. and He told Zephaniah (3:9) and Dan (7:6) that _He would_ do that.. so it's just a matter of time before these who profess themselves to wise hear God declare in no uncertain terms .. "I meant to do that" and "I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and scribes" and not to follow the vanity of scribes who call themselves Jews but can not prove they are from the tribe of Judah... the bottom line is that mankind would never have been able to know the precision of the word of God until the 12th century Jews agreed how to point the consonants for meaning in the 12th century AD.. Fortunately for us, God had copies of the LXX waiting for the apostles in every synagogue from Spain to Ethiopia so all men could worship God in one consent and search the scriptures that testified of Jesus Christ (John 5:39) so that "all nations" could be saved. (Gen 18:18 & 22:18)
+intruthbygrace almost all hebrew verbs have a 3 letter root.ie SH.M.R (shamar) which means he guarded, kept, watched so the meaning doesn't differ that much.but we can tell a lot by the context how to interpret it. the 4 original hebrew gospels have been found and are slowly being revealed and authenticated. ruclips.net/channel/UCfhVMXuGiQLNW6wpbzEot7w start @31.06
There’s no proof of any scriptures predating LXX. There’s no real proof of an original Hebrew Old Testament. The Septuagint Greek is the oldest Bible manuscript we have and it’s 3rd century bce.
The text of the Septuagint you read today is simply the old testament portion of codex Vaticanus. It's age is about 300CE. The dead sea scrolls are several hundred years older than this text. It is a work of the Church not of Jews.
I find this rather funny. A language scholar speaking to Mormons whose prophet claimed he could read something he called reformed Egyptian and dreamed up the Pearl of Great Price. Mormons don't go by true language professors they simply look into a hat and come up with a new translation.
It would be wonderful if some of the LANGUAGE SCHOLARS would do lectures on the Ancient Holy Languages the ETHIOPIANS speak - GEEZ, ARAMAIC, AMHARIC. The ANCIENT ETHIOPIANS were living thousands of years ago and are mentioned throughout the Old Testament and the New Testament. They spoke the same language as many of the Old Testament Prophets and New Testament Apostles; The Ethiopian Ruler who spoke with Philip on the Road heading to Jerusalem. Why not investigate the languages of the modern day descendants of the Ancient Ethiopians. Thank you.
"Neither give heed to fables and endless genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in faith: so do." - 1 Tim 1:4 "There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus." - Gal 3:28 Basically God says: Don't be racist.
It does indeed seem that the translators of the LXX translated as many terms as possible for a Greek-speaking readership, rather than preserving (and adding more obscurity) proper names specific to a certain language, people, region etc. A 'Gentile' Old Testament.
I realize this is an old comment but I’m curious how the conclusion of the LXX being “a gentile Old Testament” was reached. Considering that all of the Jews in the first century, including Jesus and his disciples, were using it? Literally all of the Jews and the Jewish religious authorities relied on it.
@@shawnglass108 Yeah, sometimes I cringe at the things I wrote 5 minutes ago, but I kind of stand by what I THINK I meant, namely: the Jews who translated their Hebrew Bible into Greek seem to have had in mind a somewhat heathenish readership, or at least, have translated it such that it's amenable to people with less knowledge of the inricacies or Hebraisms of Jerusalem.
By the way, the Bible tells you it’s an allegory and that Jesus never spoke unless it was in parables. Allegory and Parables. It’s a story and your reading it wrong.
Instead of leaving a “book” of my word would you like to know what I would leave a monument that could not be duplicated in anyway thus the pyramids of Giza that teaches “man, know thyself”. You know what is right you know what is wrong. Tree of good and evil sound familiar? It is your choice to preform good but also your choice to be evil. I choose to be good so I turned evil away or backwards. Evil backwards spells what? LIVE! Know thyself and love one another you don’t need an invisible boogeyman to do what’s right
To make it simple. A translation can never be a better version of the original manuscript. Therefore Hebrew can’t be translated to overshadow this language, ~ especially as G-d chose to use it.
Mercy Fields not only that, but clearly the Lord Jesus would have chosen the greek language as it was a more widespread language. Why would the apostles preach in a language others could not understand. I personally believe the messiah spoke in 2 or more languages. The apostles, or at least the apostle Paul spoke in greek.
Live Poetic - it does appear that for 300 years God was preparing the field for the gospel to go to The Gentiles by giving them the Old Testament in Greek so they could see and hear the fulfilment of the law and the prophets. Timothy’s grandmother and mother were Hellenistic Jews and his father was Greek, Paul commended the efforts Timothy’s family had put into teaching him the Old Testament which was highly likely to be the LXX. “All Scripture is God breathed...”. I sometimes wonder if Timothy said that because people were unsure if the LXX was worthy or should they all learn Hebrew and try and get the Scribes and Pharisees to let them read for themselves the scrolls those men kept to a special elite of learners.
@@debbieward9732 stop with the lies. The gospel may have been available but the promise of the covenant was never given to the gentiles of other nations.
18:30 "it was standard speech in 17th century English to say thou." False. Thou had fallen out of use by the early 1500's. The reason the KJV translators utilized thou vs ye was in order to differentiate between the singular and plural second person pronouns in the Greek & Hebrew.

Its intresting that the jewish people werent writing before 700-600Bc as there is no real proof orhard proof of any writing. Also considering that they were taken to babylon by king Nebucudnesser, also directly after the persians took over til 330Bc after alexander the great ruled the world. Also taking into consideration that Alexanders conquest of the most document conquest of the ancient world. And Alexander conquered every kingdom from greence to india and theres no recording of any jewish land or temple before the time of Rome. We also know that when king ptolemy commissioned the bibles translation, they were no writings to translate. The greeks had to obtain 70 jews from different areas at that time, and place them in the library of Alexandira, and the jews where also placed in separate rooms to tell there religious story. and the greeks found that the jews did in fact share the same story, and thus was translated. Had the jews had written the bible? The library of Alexandira would have had many copies. We know this because boats, ships going into alexandria where searched for books or other writings. Often compensating the ship owners. The books were always taken back to the library.. there is no real Hebrew texts, because abraham was babyloian and so was all his sons till Amon. As Manassah was placed king by Joseph. The was no hebrew language at this point. As Abraham, was babyloian and issac, jacob, joseph would have spoken, egyption and ba babyloian.. this also means moses who was born in egypt would not have spoken hebrew. Thus the 10 commandents would have needed to be in egyption if he were to understand them as well as the jews. Intresting to state. That Manassah is king in 681bc, jacob or Israel was born in 985Bc however Moses who was born around 1300BC is talking about freeing the people of jacob or Israel? So it means moses is talking anout a people not yet alive 600 im the future as jacob wasn't israel till near the end of his life. This means moses in 1300bc is talking about israel who was alive 985Bc. This is the same as king solomon talking about jacob who isnt born yet as solomon was king in 970BC. Plus Manassah who was king in 681bc is israels grandson. And gives us real dates..ive read all 5 bibles. The great bible, Bishops bible, Catholic bible, the greek and the torah. The greek is the only original bible known to man. But many of the words cannot be translated into English as many words in English never existed and vise vera.. plus its intresting that the jewish religion never caught on, untill the Roman Emporor Constantine inforeced it under rule of death, backed up with the roman army. Octavain who conquered egypt and took it as his own private estate never embraced the jewish religion. As there are many stone busts of Octavain wearing the pharohs crown and other egyption dresses etc. Thus inforcing that roman or pagen religions were still in full effect...its also interesting when ive been tring to trace jewish writing before 700Bc is impossible and does not exist. The only bit of evidence is shadey at best. A peace of stone with a scribble of untidy writing saying.. the house of david. And the jews says its king david and thus its 1000s of years old. However the so called king david who built the first temple and formed the first United israe and ruled over them plus killing a Giant? Would not have a scruffy bit of stone with his name loosely scribbled on it. Had it been king davids it would have been finely carved and his na,e would be everywhere as well as king solomon, because he saw himself as king of all kings, and thus would be alot of evidence. However the jewish people who wrote the first bible would not have inclued theses tales of king david or solomon, due to the greedy nature of the greeks, any news of some great temple and land would have been noticed by Alexanders commanders who ruled the known world. Also its intresting the name of moses comes from tut-moses, the 3 pharohs alive just before moses was supposed to be alive. Also the Jew's would not have written about any exodus during the translations of the bible because the jews were in fact occupying alexandria egypt or a very large population was recorded to jave been there. Thus the egytion temple priests would not have tolerated a story of a wicket pharoh who kills inoccent children etc. That would have been a foolish move on the jews part, thus the 5 books of moses was written long after
+the doctor dont be a moron. the 10 commands were written in paleo hebrew and moses spoke hebrew.abraham was a chaldean and most people would have been bi lingual
Very interesting… I also have similar views on this… as an adopted son, Moses would have taken the name after the pharaoh Tutmoses.. the pharaohs used the snake and a crooked staff as a sign of divinity so I am assuming that this originated from Moses demonstrating Gods power when his shepherds staff turned into a snake and devoured the ones made by the magicians …
All of this madness after the capital was moved from Memphis to Alexandria From Rome to Constantinople to arab lands to then america It’s all a madness of opinions and edits and translation movements loose essence 😩
The Greek is the only version on file that is said to derive from the "Original Hebrew" The professor brings up a very good point that the greek is a witness of the Hebrew and not a literal translation itself...everything else is considered "corrupted" due to the in-fighting among the Jewish sects.

If the Septuagint actually translated the Hebrew to Greek, albeit keeping the meaning of the words originally given the same for both, then I could accept the Greek. It doesn't thus when the Greek was translated to English there are more errors as there are words in the English bibles that do not mean the same as original Hebrew words that were used. Case in point the Hebrew word 'mamzer' does not have the same meaning as the English word 'bastard'.
The KJV, seriously, I couldn't watch this after that. The KJV is only prevalent in Protestant English speaking communities. Which only make up a small fraction of Christians.
What? The KJB fell out of the pocket of Jesus Christ himself on to the sands of the sea of Galilee where it was later found by Bishop Thomas Cranmer. Jesus wrote by hand every word in Elizabethan English and invented the chapter and verse groupings too. It the only bible actually the word of God otherwise why do they parachute English KJBs into the Amazon jungle for the natives to be saved.
I'm SO utterly confused... rather than accomplishing all of these mental gymnastics just to hold on to the fairytale dogma, isn't it just easier to acknowledge that the best linguistic evidence is that the Greek was first??... that the Hebrew was a later translation from the far more complex greek? I mean, the absolute commitment to orthodoxy is, kind of, gross lol. Have some courage!!
the original 72 rabbis were forced translate the first five books of Torah into Koine greek Genesis to Deuteronomy only. No one has that original copy. Origen translated the balance of the Christian old Testament using the hexapla method from fragments of greek Aramaic and Hebrew. The orthodox Hebrew Tanakh used today match the dead Sea scrolls . No Christian old testament comes close. Martin Luther and Erasmus as well as Sir Issac Newton stated Septuagint was changed and attempted to learn to read Hebrew original.J Jerome later translated into Latin Vulgate.
Why then when Jesus quotes the Old Testament does it match 90% of time with the Septuagint? There is more detail in the LXX which is older than Masoretic.

1. In the days of Christ, the only Scripture known to most Jews was the Septuagint Old Testament written in ancient Greek. And so, we care not what this professor thinks the Septuagint meant, we care only what Christ's followers thought it meant. 2. And so, why did the professor make no effort to explain what the followers of Christ perceived as the words flowed from the mouth of Christ? Because, all Bibles are published by the rich, since the dark ages all of Christianity has been ruled by the rich and if the profession dared to expose the fake morality and fiction salvation brainwashed into us by the rich, who could the profession earn a living? 3. SIXTH COMMANDMENT “Do not be deceitful to a neighbor, your witness that of a liar.” ou yeudomarturhseiß kata tou plhsion sou marturian yeudh Ex 20:16 OGV BIBLE FICTION "Do not bear false witness (in court) against your neighbor." In the above Text the last Greek word is "yeudh," which means "liar." And so, what can be said about the rich who have published all the Bibles, and all the Bible scholars who are paid only by the rich, when all Bibles are saturated by gross corruption too numerous to mention? BIBLE FICTION 4. We cannot both give all our wealth to the poor and receive "many times more in this age." Therefore, the Bible has a subjective and relative form of morality. 5. We cannot be a pacifist who turns the other cheek and never goes to court, while we bear the sword for government. Therefore, the Bible does have human error. 6. Christ and John the Baptist did not both die without faith. Therefore, the Bible cannot replace our ability to use logic and reasoning.
@MadMax™ Whatever the validity of the Letter of Aristeas, or parts of it, the LXX was in use by the Jews from the 3rd century BC/BCE. The Jews were in a friendly Greek culture for a long while under the Ptolemies. Greek was the lingua franca of that area and time. Jesus knew it because many of his sayings cannot be understood without it. There is no question of this. Also without question, it predates Jesus, but it predicts Jesus. The Masoretic is admitted to be based on flawed scripts. What is also true is that if Christianity did not exist, Jewish scholars would be all over the LXX trying to reconcile it with the Masoretic text, or rather, vice versa. I'll add this since Hanukkah is here: The Seleucids did great damage to the Jews by burning their Torahs. What damage they did, the Romans added to. Hannukkah is to celebrate that the Jews survived in spite of great persecution. But they barely did so, and not without loss of good/complete Torah manuscripts. Finally, the LXX is more compliant with the Dead Sea scrolls than the Masoretic. That is fact as well.

@@joshportie have you actually studied the septuagint vs the masoretic text vs. the English translations? A few hours with a couple of reference tools and it is easy to verify the septuagint was the primary reference text for new testament authors (doing a line by line comparison). The masoretic texts (commonly used in english translations). Literally came along 700-1000 years later (which no one debates or disputes who's doing bible translation) Also it seems clear if you spend a little more time on it that the masoretic texts were altered by unbelieving jewish scribes. For example the masertic texts reads "A young woman shall be with child"!!! While the.septuigaint reads "A Virgin will be with child ". (and note Hebrew does have separate terms for Virgin and young woman). To me this appears a clear example of later jewish scribes attempting to db down the prophetic verifications of the Christ in scripture. There is strong reason to study the septuagint

So salvation is dependent on weather braids or the word braid is translated as locks or locks are braids... so bad.... what if they mean the same and thats not something that a version means its not saying the same thing. Good reason to split up a church? nope its like saying the chruch carpet should be light green or dark green. Either way, it shouldnt keep people out of heaven. 72 individuals translated the original jewish manuscripts and were locked in their individual rooms... they brought out the translations from each of the 72 and there were litterally 0 differences that would make the translations radical or different. The masoritic jews moved words and colluded to remove jesus as the savior. this is the vareient that produced the fall of the jews forever now. they removed the lienage from jesus and say that jesus wasnt related to Abraham and he wasnt in the line of noah.

Jumps around and, IMO, is not confident in what he claims. It is easy to see that the Greek New Testament quotes the LXX. The LXX is older than the DSS. the MT was created after the New Testament was written. Pick apart the LXX all you want, the LXX is older than the DSS and the MT. Of the extant manuscripts of the LXX, DSS and MT, the oldest LXX manuscripts are older than the DSS and MT. The DSS proves that the LXX is much closer to the original and lost Hebrew Bible than is the MT that was created after Christianity began.
Agreed. His way of explaining textual primacy was pretty awkward, backward & tortured. Was hard to follow. Seemed to purposely do this so as to protect the culture feelings around the masoretic.

Is the LXX the Septuagint?

Very rushed but very insightful. Wish a copy of the handout were available.
I have a question, my family and I only knew of the Septuagint we recognized it as a gift from God. I Dιscovered later in life as in a young adult that there were groups of Christians who used an Old Testament called the Masoretic Text. My question is as follows, why is the Septuagint rejected by so many Western Christians?
For three centuries, the KJV in America was the only translation. Its public domain status ensures cheap reprinting that even the poorest person can afford. These poor, typically uneducated people grow up under its influence, and when they start reading other translations that quote from better sources than Medieval Jewish Masoretic texts the KJV is based on, they think that version is corrupt rather than the one they grew up with.
So, to answer your question, the KJV-Only movement is rooted mostly in ignorance, poverty and tradition. It's mainly propagated by the Independent Fundamentalist Holyroller Preacher crowd who never received a formal education in Biblical languages or critical study, and preys on the ignorance of his flock. There's a _ton_ of these guys in America.
Because it is an earlier translation, more accurate.
If a more accurate version contradicts one that your family has held dear for hundreds of year, it will be ignored.
Meaning your version has been adopted in convenience and not in accuracy.
Could possibly be wrong. Which would discredit generations of faithful service, etc.
obviously it would be rejected, or your ancestors would look like fools.
So to save face they blindly adheare to common understanding instead of attempting to use more accurate information to update their beliefs.

@st r As the professor pointed out; the Masoretic text is younger than the LXX texts and no-one knows if the MAsoretic is translated from the LXX or if it was taken from Hebrew. The reason being that the Masoretic text was written in Saint Petersberg Russia in 1008AD
Brilliant presentation, so far. I've gotta get a copy! I wish I had a handout😊
let all be aware that the bible used by Jesus and the apostles was the SEPTUAGINT. statement made by Dr. Chuck Missler.
As revered as Chuck was he was also known to have promoted one or two falsehoods. This claim is certainly one. Indeed, such a claim is impossible to authenticate since Christ and the apostles never intimated anything close to this. Nor can one reach the conclusion that Christ quoted from the Septuagint by comparing texts as this would amount to merely asserting the consequent.

Seputagint is my preferred version. Need a really good greek lexicon to read it.
Comes across as sloppy due to informality of speech. At roughly 19:00 mention of King James Version (KJV) as some sort of dominant text, is false in that this might apply to English speaking protestants, but not Eastern Orthodox, and Roman Catholics. The Orthodox, which out number the protestants, use the Greek Bible, or variants in church languages, like Church Slavonic - in effect the Septuagint (pronounced SEP-too-uh-JINT). So, its use is wide spread.
As to the significance of the differences in the Septuagint and the Masoretic, at roughly 20:20 are not small. The Masoretic has changed or omitted text that serve to negate Jesus' compliance with prophecy, among other differences.
Your takeaway from this ought to be: 1. there is value in learning about the LXX (common shorthand for the Septuagint) 2. there are significant differences between the LXX and the Masoretic, 3. the LXX has greater commonality to the Dead Sea Scrolls than the Masoretic, and 4. the LXX predates the Masoretic (first 5 books) by at least 1200 years. The latter 2 points were made by the speaker if you listened closely. Also, some of Jesus' sayings cannot be understood without the LXX. There is more to this.
@MadMax™ Called away and lost what I had started. But here goes with version #2. As to your second point. I do not see the Jews in second place. Jesus came to the Jews first. I see two tracks, which is likely not canonical with any of the major flavors of Christianity, but is the only way I reconcile what Jesus said. The Jews must follow the Law of Moses. This is not the same as having two sets of dishes. Study Jesus' parables. When passing over, righteous Jews will have the chance to see Who Jesus is and therefore be saved. The other way is for Gentiles, and is easier.
As to
the Masoretic changing what preceded it (pre-1000 AD +/), I'll provide one reference, but there are many more, including from established scholars. Note that the video ^^ says that the LXX is more compliant with the Dead Sea Scrolls than is the Masoretic. About the 20:00 mark.

Good luck with your quest.
I have a question,
how are those that support the LXX doing so since it no longer exist.
I understand we don’t have ANYTHING original, NT OT, Greek Hebrew, Nothing, nada, zip, zero!
Is the LXX preserved in other writings?
@@Davey3 The LXX (Septuagint) DOES exist today. It exists directly in the Greek Orthodox Church, in its liturgies and related texts. It lives in translation in Church Slavonic and other tongues. I understand there is a variant in the Samaritan language/Aramaic. It lives in the various Codices (Codexes) in libraries and monasteries. Did you listen to what the speaker said, and to what I wrote above?
Don't know what you mean by "original". The LXX Codexes are very old. The Dead Sea Scrolls are very old. There are fragments in various places and types that are very old. Being mostly ink on parchment, these must be copied onto new parchment as the parchment ages.
What is your expectation as to "original"? Is there a Tanakh in ancient Hebrew script in its entirety? I do not think so. Is there a Septuagint dated from 200 BCE? I do not think so. But what was said +/- by the speaker - from memory - and what I reported, the Septuagint (LXX) is more faithful to the original Hebrew than the Masoretic text.
If Jesus did not exist, Jewish scholars would be all over the LXX as a means to determine what the "original" Tanakh said. But because the Masoretic text has been edited to omit passages that support Jesus's life story, there is no interest in doing so.
This is the case even though the LXX has complete or better texts with no messianic implications. Hanukkah marks a very dark period in Jewish history. The Seleucids did great damage to the Hebrew text inventory. Passages were lost. This is well before Christianity. The Greek language LXX was not as ravaged by the Seleucids. This may help:

Thank you for the reply, I will try to listen again to what is said but my attention span is short today and the speaker needs to get straight to the point instead of singing memories by Barbara Streisand
All I know is the manuscripts we have are not the originals but copies of copies and I heard a man say we don’t have the original LXX just like we don’t have any original NT manuscripts their all copies of copies.
They are preserved in the copies but there are no originals at all only copies of all religious books.
So i think my Questioned is still valid and If I understand you correctly, the LXX is also preserved in the Greek copies of it! Yes?
Original meaning the actual written scroll by the actual author that’s what is meant by original, hope this makes sense.
@@Davey3 Cannot use your definition of "original" for any religious text so far as I am aware. Applies to Judaism, Christianity, even Mormonism. As to the copies, there are variations in all of them among the various copies. Mostly small within a "type", like the LXX as a type or the Masoretic as a type. But there are bigger differences between the LXX and Masoretic, for example.
There is a Greek version of the LXX still used by the the Greek Orthodox today. It is highly congruent with the various "ancient" Codices, such as the Vatican and the Alexandrian, etc.
It you don't trust the Septuagint which is actually just the name of the number LXX which is 70.
The current one is not related to the original lost one.
The problem is if its not the original and you don't except it, what other written scriptures/writings are available?
What else is there to translate from? The Torah was translated from the LXX. There is no original Hebrew text even the present Hebrew was translated to Hebrew from the LXX. And there is no known original Hebrew language because Hebrew. was part of a family language that included more then 20 languages.
God knew exactly what He was doing documenting His word exclusively in the first language with vowels and grammar and the acuity of Greek for the first 15 centuries of human literacy.. and He told Zephaniah (3:9) and Dan (7:6) that _He would_ do that.. so it's just a matter of time before these who profess themselves to wise hear God declare in no uncertain terms .. "I meant to do that" and "I told you to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and scribes" and not to follow the vanity of scribes who call themselves Jews but can not prove they are from the tribe of Judah... the bottom line is that mankind would never have been able to know the precision of the word of God until the 12th century Jews agreed how to point the consonants for meaning in the 12th century AD.. Fortunately for us, God had copies of the LXX waiting for the apostles in every synagogue from Spain to Ethiopia so all men could worship God in one consent and search the scriptures that testified of Jesus Christ (John 5:39) so that "all nations" could be saved. (Gen 18:18 & 22:18)

There’s no proof of any scriptures predating LXX. There’s no real proof of an original Hebrew Old Testament. The Septuagint Greek is the oldest Bible manuscript we have and it’s 3rd century bce.
The text of the Septuagint you read today is simply the old testament portion of codex Vaticanus. It's age is about 300CE. The dead sea scrolls are several hundred years older than this text. It is a work of the Church not of Jews.
And the New Testament quotes it rather than the modern Hebrew.
Septuagint is the REAL text of the Old Testament (Tanakh).
Because the Jewish text of the Old Testament was changed by Massoretic rephorm.
As much as I like the LXX let's not start praising it here. There are quite a few baffling mistakes.
I find this rather funny. A language scholar speaking to Mormons whose prophet claimed he could read something he called reformed Egyptian and dreamed up the Pearl of Great Price. Mormons don't go by true language professors they simply look into a hat and come up with a new translation.

Mercy Fields not only that, but clearly the Lord Jesus would have chosen the greek language as it was a more widespread language. Why would the apostles preach in a language others could not understand. I personally believe the messiah spoke in 2 or more languages. The apostles, or at least the apostle Paul spoke in greek.
Live Poetic - it does appear that for 300 years God was preparing the field for the gospel to go to The Gentiles by giving them the Old Testament in Greek so they could see and hear the fulfilment of the law and the prophets. Timothy’s grandmother and mother were Hellenistic Jews and his father was Greek, Paul commended the efforts Timothy’s family had put into teaching him the Old Testament which was highly likely to be the LXX. “All Scripture is God breathed...”. I sometimes wonder if Timothy said that because people were unsure if the LXX was worthy or should they all learn Hebrew and try and get the Scribes and Pharisees to let them read for themselves the scrolls those men kept to a special elite of learners.

And Alexander conquered every kingdom from greence to india and theres no recording of any jewish land or temple before the time of Rome. We also know that when king ptolemy commissioned the bibles translation, they were no writings to translate. The greeks had to obtain 70 jews from different areas at that time, and place them in the library of Alexandira, and the jews where also placed in separate rooms to tell there religious story. and the greeks found that the jews did in fact share the same story, and thus was translated. Had the jews had written the bible? The library of Alexandira would have had many copies. We know this because boats, ships going into alexandria where searched for books or other writings. Often compensating the ship owners. The books were always taken back to the library.. there is no real Hebrew texts, because abraham was babyloian and so was all his sons till Amon. As Manassah was placed king by Joseph. The was no hebrew language at this point. As Abraham, was babyloian and issac, jacob, joseph would have spoken, egyption and ba babyloian.. this also means moses who was born in egypt would not have spoken hebrew. Thus the 10 commandents would have needed to be in egyption if he were to understand them as well as the jews. Intresting to state. That Manassah is king in 681bc, jacob or Israel was born in 985Bc however Moses who was born around 1300BC is talking about freeing the people of jacob or Israel? So it means moses is talking anout a people not yet alive 600 im the future as jacob wasn't israel till near the end of his life. This means moses in 1300bc is talking about israel who was alive 985Bc. This is the same as king solomon talking about jacob who isnt born yet as solomon was king in 970BC. Plus Manassah who was king in 681bc is israels grandson. And gives us real dates..ive read all 5 bibles. The great bible, Bishops bible, Catholic bible, the greek and the torah. The greek is the only original bible known to man. But many of the words cannot be translated into English as many words in English never existed and vise vera.. plus its intresting that the jewish religion never caught on, untill the Roman Emporor Constantine inforeced it under rule of death, backed up with the roman army. Octavain who conquered egypt and took it as his own private estate never embraced the jewish religion. As there are many stone busts of Octavain wearing the pharohs crown and other egyption dresses etc. Thus inforcing that roman or pagen religions were still in full effect...its also interesting when ive been tring to trace jewish writing before 700Bc is impossible and does not exist. The only bit of evidence is shadey at best. A peace of stone with a scribble of untidy writing saying.. the house of david. And the jews says its king david and thus its 1000s of years old. However the so called king david who built the first temple and formed the first United israe and ruled over them plus killing a Giant? Would not have a scruffy bit of stone with his name loosely scribbled on it. Had it been king davids it would have been finely carved and his na,e would be everywhere as well as king solomon, because he saw himself as king of all kings, and thus would be alot of evidence. However the jewish people who wrote the first bible would not have inclued theses tales of king david or solomon, due to the greedy nature of the greeks, any news of some great temple and land would have been noticed by Alexanders commanders who ruled the known world. Also its intresting the name of moses comes from tut-moses, the 3 pharohs alive just before moses was supposed to be alive. Also the Jew's would not have written about any exodus during the translations of the bible because the jews were in fact occupying alexandria egypt or a very large population was recorded to jave been there. Thus the egytion temple priests would not have tolerated a story of a wicket pharoh who kills inoccent children etc. That would have been a foolish move on the jews part, thus the 5 books of moses was written long after
+the doctor
dont be a moron.
the 10 commands were written in paleo hebrew and moses spoke hebrew.abraham was a chaldean and most people would have been bi lingual
Very interesting… I also have similar views on this… as an adopted son, Moses would have taken the name after the pharaoh Tutmoses.. the pharaohs used the snake and a crooked staff as a sign of divinity so I am assuming that this originated from Moses demonstrating Gods power when his shepherds staff turned into a snake and devoured the ones made by the magicians …

who cares for having Greek to English we need hebrew straight to English ppl
The Greek is the only version on file that is said to derive from the "Original Hebrew" The professor brings up a very good point that the greek is a witness of the Hebrew and not a literal translation itself...everything else is considered "corrupted" due to the in-fighting among the Jewish sects. The MT, DSS etc..
what video did you watch for the in-fighting among the Hebrew sects?

You do realize he’s a BYU and most of that audience spoke both languages and probably Aramaic as well. I highly doubt they need a dictionary for anything he said.
If the Septuagint actually translated the Hebrew to Greek, albeit keeping the meaning of the words originally given the same for both, then I could accept the Greek. It doesn't thus when the Greek was translated to English there are more errors as there are words in the English bibles that do not mean the same as original Hebrew words that were used. Case in point the Hebrew word 'mamzer' does not have the same meaning as the English word 'bastard'.
Did the bible really take place in Africa?? And the story got white-washed??
The KJV, seriously, I couldn't watch this after that. The KJV is only prevalent in Protestant English speaking communities. Which only make up a small fraction of Christians.
What? The KJB fell out of the pocket of Jesus Christ himself on to the sands of the sea of Galilee where it was later found by Bishop Thomas Cranmer. Jesus wrote by hand every word in Elizabethan English and invented the chapter and verse groupings too. It the only bible actually the word of God otherwise why do they parachute English KJBs into the Amazon jungle for the natives to be saved.
LOLOL
I'm SO utterly confused... rather than accomplishing all of these mental gymnastics just to hold on to the fairytale dogma, isn't it just easier to acknowledge that the best linguistic evidence is that the Greek was first??... that the Hebrew was a later translation from the far more complex greek? I mean, the absolute commitment to orthodoxy is, kind of, gross lol. Have some courage!!
the original 72 rabbis were forced translate the first five books of Torah into Koine greek Genesis to Deuteronomy only. No one has that original copy.
Origen translated the balance of the Christian old Testament using the hexapla method from fragments of greek Aramaic and Hebrew.
The orthodox Hebrew Tanakh used today match the dead Sea scrolls . No Christian old testament comes close. Martin Luther and Erasmus as well as Sir Issac Newton stated Septuagint was changed and attempted to learn to read Hebrew original.J Jerome later translated into Latin Vulgate.
Why then when Jesus quotes the Old Testament does it match 90% of time with the Septuagint? There is more detail in the LXX which is older than Masoretic.
@@jaqian
mitzvah golem is correct!!!
What he says, is right in the Preface of the Septuagint;
The pseudepigraphal Letter of Aristeas contains a legend of the miraculous completion of the translation of the Pentateuch by a committee of seventy-two translators. This legend provides the basis for the title we use today,

Oh, for more!
The Septuagint is a Post-Apostolic work. No existence of its present status is known to modern scholarship till the 17th century. And that as a strickly speculative constructive work.
COMPLELY WRONG!
WOW. Only 20 min in and the speaker has made several false claims. I wonder if he is even a Christian.
These details we as chritians get buy others don't lol
1. In the days of Christ, the only Scripture known to most Jews was the Septuagint Old Testament written in ancient Greek. And so, we care not what this professor thinks the Septuagint meant, we care only what Christ's followers thought it meant.
2. And so, why did the professor make no effort to explain what the followers of Christ perceived as the words flowed from the mouth of Christ? Because, all Bibles are published by the rich, since the dark ages all of Christianity has been ruled by the rich and if the profession dared to expose the fake morality and fiction salvation brainwashed into us by the rich, who could the profession earn a living?
3. SIXTH COMMANDMENT
“Do not be deceitful to a neighbor, your witness that of a liar.”
ou yeudomarturhseiß kata tou plhsion sou marturian yeudh
Ex 20:16 OGV
BIBLE FICTION
"Do not bear false witness (in court) against your neighbor."
In the above Text the last Greek word is "yeudh," which means "liar." And so, what can be said about the rich who have published all the Bibles, and all the Bible scholars who are paid only by the rich, when all Bibles are saturated by gross corruption too numerous to mention?
BIBLE FICTION
4. We cannot both give all our wealth to the poor and receive "many times more in this age." Therefore, the Bible has a subjective and relative form of morality.
5. We cannot be a pacifist who turns the other cheek and never goes to court, while we bear the sword for government. Therefore, the Bible does have human error.
6. Christ and John the Baptist did not both die without faith. Therefore, the Bible cannot replace our ability to use logic and reasoning.
@MadMax™ False. It was nearly 300 years in use by then, perhaps older.
@MadMax™ Whatever the validity of the Letter of Aristeas, or parts of it, the LXX was in use by the Jews from the 3rd century BC/BCE. The Jews were in a friendly Greek culture for a long while under the Ptolemies. Greek was the lingua franca of that area and time. Jesus knew it because many of his sayings cannot be understood without it. There is no question of this.
Also without question, it predates Jesus, but it predicts Jesus. The Masoretic is admitted to be based on flawed scripts.
What is also true is that if Christianity did not exist, Jewish scholars would be all over the LXX trying to reconcile it with the Masoretic text, or rather, vice versa.
I'll add this since Hanukkah is here: The Seleucids did great damage to the Jews by burning their Torahs. What damage they did, the Romans added to. Hannukkah is to celebrate that the Jews survived in spite of great persecution. But they barely did so, and not without loss of good/complete Torah manuscripts.
Finally, the LXX is more compliant with the Dead Sea scrolls than the Masoretic. That is fact as well.

Also other scholars support what the video above says about the LXX being more compliant (a lot more) with the Dead Sea Scrolls than the Masoretic

You need to learn about your religion.
The current Tanakh (your version) has verses that show that Jesus was "like" the Messiah predicted. If the Masoretic had not been manipulated, it would show that Jesus WAS the Messiah. See this:
ruclips.net/video/BekFQTFLK4E/видео.html
Here are SOME differences between the Septuagint (LXX) and the Masoretic Text (MT) that obscure that Jesus was the Messiah. Note that Hebrew = MT here:
web.archive.org/web/20040602211822/www.scripturecatholic.com/septuagint.html
Note that there are changes to the dates of the prophets so as to make it appear that Jesus could not be of the order of Melchizedek. See this: www.bible.ca/manuscripts/Septuagint-LXX-Shem-was-Melchizedek-Masoretic-chronology-Messiah-Jesus-Christ-priesthood.htm

@@joshportie have you actually studied the septuagint vs the masoretic text vs. the English translations? A few hours with a couple of reference tools and it is easy to verify the septuagint was the primary reference text for new testament authors (doing a line by line comparison).
The masoretic texts (commonly used in english translations). Literally came along 700-1000 years later (which no one debates or disputes who's doing bible translation)
Also it seems clear if you spend a little more time on it that the masoretic texts were altered by unbelieving jewish scribes. For example the masertic texts reads "A young woman shall be with child"!!! While the.septuigaint reads "A Virgin will be with child ". (and note Hebrew does have separate terms for Virgin and young woman). To me this appears a clear example of later jewish scribes attempting to db down the prophetic verifications of the Christ in scripture. There is strong reason to study the septuagint
So his great wisdom is from a song by a kabbalist Christ hating entertainer - contradiction in profession.

So salvation is dependent on weather braids or the word braid is translated as locks or locks are braids... so bad.... what if they mean the same and thats not something that a version means its not saying the same thing. Good reason to split up a church? nope its like saying the chruch carpet should be light green or dark green. Either way, it shouldnt keep people out of heaven. 72 individuals translated the original jewish manuscripts and were locked in their individual rooms... they brought out the translations from each of the 72 and there were litterally 0 differences that would make the translations radical or different. The masoritic jews moved words and colluded to remove jesus as the savior. this is the vareient that produced the fall of the jews forever now. they removed the lienage from jesus and say that jesus wasnt related to Abraham and he wasnt in the line of noah.
