The Septuagint was translated by 72 Jewish scholars, six from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. They were not Greek scholars but Jewish ones. If there was any error in the translation. do you not think that one of these 72 scholars would have discovered this error and corrected it? If anyone believes the Septuagint is somehow a false version of the Old Testament then they believe they are wiser than these scholars and that is a very arrogant claim to make.
@@georgfriedrichhandel4390 - No, Not all Israelites were or Are Jewish. Israel had 12 Tribes, the Jews came from One of Those Tribes, Judah,. They were not The 12 Jewish Tribes. And Modern Day Samaritains aren't Classified as Jews, Either.

My father is a Biblical scholar and he taught me all of this stuff. By the way, my priest recently told me that the Masoretic Text was a reaction to Christianity; it was done by traditionalist medieval Jews to "prove" that Jesus of Nazareth is NOT the Messiah.
A rabbi in 70 AD, was part of those rabbis had intense for Christ, and set up new structure that would block any reference to Christ. This Hebrew text was assembled in 1100 AD marked by disunity and contention vs the miraculous perfect unity if writers of the Septuagint.

That’s because the LXX was done to hide the fact that during First Temple Judaism the King of Judea was YHWH. King David and every King of the House of David was their God YHWH, or Son of YHWH. It was simply much like the Roman Imperial Cult where the Emperor Caesar was God.
@@joshuaclabeaux1470 we were taught that the Hebrews were afraid of making mistakes in copying. So why would that change? Unless they altered the ones they wanted us to have?
The Dead Sea Scrolls adds more credibility to the Septuagint than it typically does to the Masoretic. All sources should be taken into account when translating, and all variants should be noted.
when someone says that dss isaiah 7:14 renders "virgin" (using the word "almah"), they are being intentionally deceptive. lxx gives us "parthenos" which is greek for "virgin" (i think). but the hebrew betulah is specifically "virgin", as the hymen is betullim (think i did that right). my old interlinear bible shows betulah. but dss is almah. and while almah can refer to someone who is a virgin, calling her an almah is not calling her a virgin. only that she is young, and may be a virgin. so dss if translated honestly renders: "behold, the young woman who might be a virgin will give birth..." but nope. its a virgin!!!
The book of Isaiah in its fullness is found in the dead Sea scrolls. It matches the king James version which is based off of the Muretic text if memory serves me.
@@PrescottJohnson-gfh What you are stating here regarding Isaiah 7v14 (almah) is False - do not mislead people, God's Judgment will follow if you do - check out all contexts in the Old Testament for Hebrew words Almah and Betulah and you will find the opposite to what you said is True - in other words in Isaiah 7v14 God is telling us a 'Virgin' will conceive and bear a Son (God's Only Begotten Son) which the New Testament Confirms.

I'll have to paraphrase this, but Dr. Chuck Missler used to say something along the lines :"You know the Bible is true b/c the old testament foretells the new, and the new testament proves the old" something like that. he also goes on to say " he really doubts a bunch of jewish scribes who lived hundreds of yrs apart, were able to cook up this grand conspiracy and make the 2 books coincide with one another"
they don't coincide at all. they are very different. so they mention each other? lol that means nothing. all it implies is there was an intended update to the ideological data.

@@stardel Cleopatra, the Ptolemys were of Greek descent and looked like Greeks and nothing like the Ethiopians. The Hebrew language was never completely dead. The name "Jesus" has existed since the 17th century, and God never revealed this name. Jesus (gee-sus) comes from Iesus (ee-sus, this name is found in the KJV of 1611), and Iesus comes from Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Now consider the testimony of the apostle Peter, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). What does this mean? This means that the names of Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous were never revealed by God, but come to us by the tongue of mankind, and therefore, these names, Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous are counterfeit names never revealed by God. Once again, mankind makes void the revelation of God for their traditions. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders...?” He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition" (Mark 7:5-9). God revealed the name of salvation, but mankind rejected the revealed name, YAHSHUA, for names not revealed but produced by the tongue of man. Jews are a white ruddy people (Lamentations 4:7; 1 Samuel 16:12; Song of Solomon 5:10). Ham is the progenitor of the Dark Race (Zondervan Dictionary, 1967). Esau married women of the Hittites, who are the descendants of Ham, and therefore, Esau had black kids (Genesis 26:34).
Atheists, Hindus, and Muslims are pretty fanatical about Christ and his non-divinity. My point is that the devil is against Christ, don't be a bigot and defile the name of our Lord.
Fake argument! What translation using the mess erratic text tries to imply to Jesus is not the Christ or even God incarnate. That’s what you get out of the king James Bible, which I believe is going off of the Messer text most modern. Most modern Bibles are following the Alexandria test and obscure text that doesn’t have duplicates and is clearly a bad text. Again, where are you getting sept two agent books beyond the first five books of Moses this needs to be explained only had the first five books translated as he was looking for constitutions of countries, not religious texts in their entirety.

Originally, the West used the LXX too, until St. Jerome opted for the Hebrew & Aramaic text for his "Vulgate" translation. St. Augustine of Hippo protested but could not persuade Jerome otherwise after the two exchanged a serious of letters about this question.
In the New Testament, there are 332 direct references from Matthews (51), Mark (11), Luke (29), John (20), Acts (53), Romans (29), 1&2 Corinthians (23), Galatians (3), Ephesians (8), Philippians (3), Colossians (1), 1&2 Thessalonians (8), 1&2 Timothy (11), Titus (2), Hebrews (23), James (22), 1&2 Peter (9), 1 John (1), and Revelations (22), to the Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Baruch 1 & 2 Maccabees, within the Septuagint Bible. Here's an example where the Greek gospels present Jesus as quoting the Septuagint: In Mark 7:6-7, Jesus quotes the LXX of Isaiah 29:13 when he says, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”

@@user-pl3el3vr4q No. Jerome used the then current Torah for his Vulgate version. It had already been corrupted and parts were missing - the Seleucids - Hanukkah story - did much more harm than defiling the Temple. Jerome used the Septuagint only where the Hebrew made no sense or was missing. Jerome was warned NOT to use the Hebrew Scriptures. He was brilliant but misguided/ignorant.
@@ownpetard8379 Sorry, you have been mislead: It is well known that St. Jerome used the earliest copies of the Septuagint to complete the original Latin Vulgate translation. *[Christian History originally published this article in Christian History Issue #28 in 1990]* _[(...) At first Jerome worked from the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint. But then he established a precedent for all good translators: the Old Testament would have to be translated from the original Hebrew. In his quest for accuracy, Jerome consulted Jewish rabbis. In translating the Old Testament, something struck Jerome: the books the Jews regarded as Holy Scripture did not include the books we know as the Apocryphal. These books had been included in the Septuagint, the basis of most older translations, and Jerome was compelled by the church to include them. But he made it clear that in his opinion the Apocryphal books were only liber ecclesiastici (church books to be read for edification), as opposed to the fully inspired liber canonici (canonical books to establish doctrine). Over one thousand years later, the leaders of the Reformation would follow Jerome’s lead and not include the Apocrypha in the Protestant Bibles (...)]_
This is the book that Martin Luther banned when he got rid of 7 books of the Bible for Protestants. The Catholic and Orthodox Bible still maintain all the books of the Bible
He never banned those books, he said they were good for reading but not to be used for dogma or theology. Those books all appear in his translation of the Bible in German, and is still printed in modern times in Luther's translation.
"The Catholic and Orthodox Bible still maintain all the books of the Bible" They do not include the book of Judith because its about a woman who beheaded a king and they didn't want to give women any ideas.
@@havable We Orthodox and Catholic Christians do have Judith in our Bibles. You can double check this easily by looking up the Catholic versions of the Bible online.

Great video sir! I like the fact that we use all translations so we can see the tampering and know that despite that God preserved his word. Thank you for your work!
Well, the Orthodox use the Septuagint because of Apostolic succession. The church was started by the Apostles and they had to use the Septuagint because they were talking to gentiles and they used it to prove that Jesus was the messiah as well as for liturgical text. The Greek book was already in the Synagogues of the diaspora Jews (many of them only spoke Greek anyway). Even if they knew any variation in the Jewish text the authors of the new testament had to use references to the Septuagint and not anything else because the early church knew only that and their followers would be confused by any other terminology.
Jesus used the "70" to preach to the masses, then the apostles. There's no apostolic succession; that's a human fairytale of the Catholics & then the Greeks who fawned after them perpetrated. The bride is the succession of Christ, & the bride is the ekklesia, not some exalted popette. Use your kefali, maragoudakis! Would any apostle be able to call down Christ to a successor to make him an apostle? And what about unbelieving children, or apostles who had no children? Paul was the last apostle appointed & anointed by Jesus Himself. Why would there need to be more, anyway? I was born & raised Greek Eastern Orthodox, so please don't waste time telling me what you believe. Orthos had some doctrines straight, but over time have slipped increasingly into nonsense & Catholicism, even the filthy heresy of universalism. The Bible teaches nothing of such things. You won't change that abysmally thick-headed sect. Either you do as God commands, Come out & be holy, or be rounded up & chucked into the lake of fire. I wouldn't wish that on anyone, let alone my own. You have a great advantage, too, if you can read the Koine w/understanding of all the nuances & verbal aspects. Xroniasou polla!
Not all of Jacob's sons are jews. They are Hebrews. Each with their own tribe plus two of Joseph's sons born in Egypy, whom Jacob adopted. Joseph took the place of the first born and got a double portion because Ruben defiled his father's bed with Billah.
Isaiah 9:6 (Masoretic): For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. Isaiah 9:6 (LXX): For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him. Surely the Masoretic conspirators should have been wise enough to agree with the Septuagint on this one?
Great video. The content is something that every Christian leader, or teacher, should be aware of. One slight correction: Septua + ginta (70 or LXX) is Latin; not Greek.
It's dangerous because of the truth contained therein. The rebel angels, those spoken of by Paul and called by many names throughout the bible, do not want people to know the facts of our history and why things are the way they are.

It followed a different line of texts (Alexandrian). The original scrolls are the basis of texts. Some guy(s) came along and translated it incorrectly. The septuagint is an incorrect translation. (Hebrew to Greek. Counterfeit bibles come from the Alexandrian sources). Some other guy(s) then came along and compiled the scrolls into one Masoretic text (still Hebrew). These are correct. From which later translations came from. The NT came through the Byzantine text, also known as the Textus Receptus or the Majority Text. (These are where good translations come from such as the King James). The devil messed with the manuscripts and translations. That's why there are so many counterfeit bibles today but there still remains only one true scripture.

There are two problems with the criticism of the Masoretic Text presented at the end of this video: 1) The Great Isaiah Scroll discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls is as old as the original translation of the Septuagint and is nearly identical to the Masoretic (proving the Masoretic Text already existed in some form alongside the Septuagint), and 2) the Masoretes were hyper-OCD about copying the EXACT text they were looking at to the extent that they even included known scribal errors and other aberrant features found in the scrolls they were copying from! Therefore It’s HIGHLY unlikely that the discrepancies between the Masoretic and Septuagint were intentional. Now, I agree that the Septuagint is worthy to be analyzed alongside the Masoretic since Christ and the Apostles quoted it so frequently, but that doesn’t mean the Hebrew text is worthless!
@@vincentcoppola9832 100% agree! I believe God preserved BOTH on purpose. I like the idea of using the Hebrew Masoretic as our primary text, but going with the DSS and LXX when supported by the New Testament. I think the NKJV at least notes all the important passages where they differ.
I've heard this--that the 72 translations were identical, thus demonstrating that the translation was divinely guided. However, scholars comparing the Septuagint with the Hebrew and Aramaic originals have found errors in the translation. Did every translator also make identical errors? Curious indeed!
The errors were on purpose because it was a rewrite. The errors were identical because the scholars all agreed on what the bible would say going forward.
The Aleppo codex is older than the Leningrad codex. Bibles before 1947 were based off the Aleppo codex. After 1947 the Pentateuch went missing and now newer translations use the Leningrad codex. The Leningrad codex was corrected using the Aleppo codex. The Leningrad codex was not used as something to translate from until its discovery in the 1800's.
The KJB is God's perfectly preserved word. Psalms 12:6-7 The words of the LORD are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times. Thou shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.

The tradition of the septuigent, only accounts for the books of the Torah. Not the prophets. Not the writings. Any greek translation of the books of the prophets or the writings were not part of the referenced septuigent tradition professed here. Did scribes eventully make greek copies of the writings and the prophets. Yes, but they were done so seperately, and no copies exist today to confirm. Many of the fragments of greek portions from the Tanakh may in fact be scribal errors that were discarded for the error. As scribes can not destroy any document containing the name of Hashem on them, we, finding fragments 2000 years later can not confirm or deny that these fragments and their "errors" may infact have been known as errors. Not all, but some. Not making a black and white stance. Just informing the less informed who are interested in this topic. Here is some food for thought. For those who think older is better. The oldest fragments are from the 1st century bce. The term septuigent refers to any and all copies and fragments we have, from different sources, of any part of the bible written in greek. The septuigent mentioned as being referenced for the writing of whatever translation your reading used different sources by different authors who produced a translated commentary. No language directly translates into another. Translators have biases. If your not reading it in hebrew, your readibg a translators biases into the translation. Summarize. The septuigent is not a book of the greek hebrew bible. The tradition was the Torah was translated, not the whole Tanakh. Later scribes did translate other books into greek. Some of these had errors and were disposed of but not destroyed, meaning many of what we have today may be the erroneous copies deemed unworthy. The copies we have today are multiple, differing in some places. Any and all attempts to copy the hebrew bible into greek is called septuigent, even the bad copies. G-d loves us all, we have no excuse in this day and age not to seek His truth and grow in our knowledge and understanding. So anyone reading this, make G-d a priority, do some research and learn and challenge what you learn from multiple sources.
In the preface to his 1844 translation of the Septuagint, Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton acknowledges that the Jews of Alexandria were likely to have been the writers of the Septuagint, but dismisses Aristeas' account as a pious fiction. Instead, he asserts that the real origin of the name "Septuagint" pertains to the fact that the earliest version was forwarded by the authors to the Jewish Sanhedrin at Alexandria for editing and approval.
This seems to clear up the issue of how there could not have been 6 from every tribe when the Northern tribes were lost in assimilation due to exile by the Assyrians when the Septuigant put together.
It can’t be dangerous if it no longer exists. The narrator originally admits the Septuagint was only the Torah, later relies on it for Isaiah text. It’s magic like cups and balls; where’s the ball now?
In the Septuagint, the naked young man following Jesus in the garden when the Romans arrested him was translated as “young man” but “young boy” according to Dr. Hillman who has a channel on RUclips called “Lady Babylon”.
It's typically lying Christian propaganda. The Septugint has been altered by centuries of Christian forgers twisting the original Hebrew often into the exact opposite of the original Hebrew to prophecy Iesous.
Pope Damasus gave to Jerome the order to translate the septuaginte to latin. Jerome used the knowledge of Rabbies and hebrew manuscripts to understand better the greek text of the septuagint. Even though the vulgata did use some hebraic sources it is not based on the masoretic text. Jerome did also examine the question of Betulah and Almah and came also to the conclusion that the word almah that is now used in the masoretic text renders the best the word of virgin. In fact to say a women was young was the oriental way to say that she was virgin. Also in the indogermanic languages this is the case. In german a virgin is a "Jung-Frau". A Betulah may have been married. She only has no man now. A widow is a Betulah but no virgin. Even the masoretic text adds the precision Almah to Betulah when it comes to affirm the virginity IMHO.
I value your opinion very much. Jerome aside, Jewish scholars (and Wikipedia) continue to argue that Almah does not imply virginity, which is the central issue for the miraculous birth of Christ.
@@diggingupthebible Jerome actually mentioned he was aware of Rabbinic statements about this in his time--as well as before the time of Christ, and that not only were Hebrew users aware it signified "Virgin", but the sages said so: likewise Rashi refers to this. Christians didn't arise ex nihilo from Pagans misreading Jewish texts. Jewish figures are really in a fight with their own ancient forbears' own understandings, and departures that came later for reasons of remaining distinct.
Jerome did not Translate The Septuagint, He Translated The Hebrew. But it was Not the Masoretic Text as That did Not Exist Until The 6th-10th Century AD.
Here is something to know, the word used in the masoretic text for young women can actually being translated as both young women or virgin, not just just young women.
St Jerome used the Septuagint too ... the Masoretic texts were compiled in the Middle Ages; the key differences between both compilations are that the Masoretic texts excluded 7 books from the Septuagint, including Maccabees ...
I already forsee Muslims and atheists typing in the comments, "We've been saying all along your Scriptures have been corrupted. Now you yourselves are being forced to admit this." Well, no. If it wasn't for the Septuagint, we would have no idea whether the Masoretic text could be trusted. Now we know that even though they were entirely separate textual traditions, the text remained essentially the same. There were mistakes made by imperfect humans, but now we know where exactly they were made. With the vast majority of other books, including the Quran, with all of its earliest manuscripts except for one having been burned, we just have to trust the survivor.
@@dmitrimikrioukov5935 The Bible we have now does have some drift, over the time span we’re discussing, that’s to be expected. Now let’s describe the level of error; 2-3 %. And when one does one’s homework, you find that 2-3% is mainly due to translation error, because a translator brings his own biases and ideas to the text.

God revealed the name of salvation, but mankind rejected the revealed name, YAHSHUA, for names not revealed but produced by the tongue of man. Jews are a white ruddy people (Lamentations 4:7; 1 Samuel 16:12; Song of Solomon 5:10). Ham is the progenitor of the Dark Race (Zondervan Dictionary, 1967). Esau married women of the Hittites, who are the descendants of Ham, and therefore, Esau had black kids (Genesis 26:34).

I am awed by not only this presentation, but by the comments below. I feel 'cheated' by religion for presenting only the Bible as the one document. Some of the discussion below, has opened my eyes of 65 years, to the historical records that have been used to explain the validity of the Torah and the Bible, for example. A number of years ago, I began looking (a 'heretical' examination) at the Apocrypha and the unused Gospels. Later, my curiosity reached to those Nag Hamadi finds. These are all in the New Testament period. But now to learn about the Septuagint and the earlier Jewish texts, has revised new interest. It was always my understanding that the writing of a Torah, was overseen by rabbinical scholars, to insure that the text was copied exactly as it had been for thousands of years and that there were no mistakes. Now, I wonder if monks weren't the only scribes who may have tweaked the original text.
Septuagint has 1500years between Adam and Abraham. All the corrupted versions tampered by the Devil has those 1500years removed so it can hide the true timeline and make you lot still wait for the 2nd coming. 6000years from Adam to 70AD. After 70AD was the final 1000years aka Millennial Kingdom. Then comes the period of complete deception which we are currently living in
The vital new people would try to add books that’s why if you take the book of Isaiah, which is 66 chapters you can find traces in each chapter that talk about each of the 66 books and letters. A hidden index. Also trans late the genealogy as follows… Adam-Seth- ect into Hebrew without the begets and you get hidden sentences which are very Christian.
in 1650 Sy Francis DeSales converted 72,000 Calvanist by defending the Septuigate as canonic scripture because it is the Catholic old testament. he said that the Jews who rejected the 7 books in 90 AD at Jomnia had no standing since Jesus gave the keys to Peter.
The video did not mention one other reason that allowed the Gospel to spread. The long period of peace that followed, Pax Romana. Excellent presentation.
You said that Matthew quoted the septuagint for Isaiah 7:14, but this is contradictory with your introduction when you say that the spetuagint is a greek translation of the jewish Torah. Isaiah is not part of the Torah.
While yes, the Torah is generally for the first 5 books, there are in some instances, though probably incorrectly, where it refers to the whole of the Old Testament.
You have a language-tech problem here considering that the Septuagint's Greek is a more complex/detailed text; Ancient Hebrew only has appx 8000 words in its lexicon, whereas Ancient Greek has appx 1mil. One could simplify a translation going from Greek to Hebrew as the translators have a bigger pool of words, but not the other way around for Hebrew to Greek - . Go and listen to the Dr Hillman over at Lady Babylon, a Philologist who studies languages evolving over time, expert in Ancient Greek, medical practices and drug use in Antiquity, and hear how we have got it all wrong; The Hebrew text is the translation of the Septuagint.

Mark 14:51-52 in LXX explains who they (the christians) are. Why was Jesus the Enchristened in the sacred grove with a naked boy that had a linen bandage on his privates soaked in The Burning Purple at 4AM and the first thing to come out of his mouth is, "I am not a pirate!"? "You mean to scandalize me?"
Honestly the text traditions of the Septuagint were a major eye opener for me. Then I come to learn that the Hebrew Masoretic Text with the Aleppo Codex being written under the Abbasid Caliphate which is the same group that was compiling the Koran. Also looking into the Latin Vulgate there are places where it has higher degree of agreement with the LXX (Septuagint) over the later Masoretic Text.
Nope. Aramaic was not the language used by scholars or scribes at that point in history. It was written in Greek. How many unique words are in Aramaic? 1.5 MILLION in classical Greek.
The priests of the temple and almost ALL Palestinian levies condemned the translation as😢 Blasphemy,as do those coreligionist Karaites to this day. To us any translation is only a commentary and very Suspect. We Never use any translation and are Not bound by any commentary or Midrash. This obliged the students of the Texts to remain always and ever scholars of the Language
Very well put together. You hit the historical points on the head. It's a dangerous book today as well. Most professing Christians won't read it, or see it's value. Thanks for sharing.
Good thing authorities said that version of the bible was discontinued. We want to know which calendar the Hebrews went by while that bible was being written.
The Dead Sea Scrolls have copies of both the Masoretic and the Septuagint versions. This shows that both the Greek and the Hebrew were used at the time of Christ. The scribes could not have invented scriptures to disprove Christ , before Christ came. There are other reasons for the differences.
Shalom Shalom!!! When someone is willfully blind, brazen dismissal of necessary inferences is not only possible, but a matter of course. It wasn't just that the curtain temple tore. The Talmud records that during the Day of Atonement, they had a tradition of tying a crimson strip of wool to the head of goat which they released, and there was an omen that indicated whether or not their sacrifices were accepted by God and their sins forgiven: the crimson ribbon would turn white. The Talmud records that during the tenure of a high priest called "Simon the Righteous" (Shimon HaTzaddik) this omen consistently happened: From the Talmud, Yoma 39a:15 (with intercalated explanations in English) תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה שֶׁשִּׁמֵּשׁ שִׁמְעוֹן הַצַּדִּיק, הָיָה גּוֹרָל עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין פְּעָמִים עוֹלֶה בִּשְׂמֹאל. וְהָיָה לָשׁוֹן שֶׁל זְהוֹרִית מַלְבִּין. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים מַלְבִּין פְּעָמִים אֵינוֹ מַלְבִּין. וְהָיָה נֵר מַעֲרָבִי דּוֹלֵק. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים דּוֹלֵק פְּעָמִים כָּבֶה.§ The Sages taught: During all forty years that Shimon HaTzaddik served as High Priest, the lot for God arose in the right hand. From then onward, sometimes it arose in the right hand and sometimes it arose in the left hand. Furthermore, during his tenure as High Priest, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel turned white, indicating that the sins of the people had been forgiven, as it is written: “Though your sins be as crimson, they shall be white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). From then onward, it sometimes turned white and sometimes it did not turn white. Furthermore, the western lamp of the candelabrum would burn continuously as a sign that God’s presence rested upon the nation. From then onward, it sometimes burned and sometimes it went out. There were several other omens they looked for as indications that God accepted their atonement, as mentioned above: some sort of picking lots at random to see if the marked one ended up in the right hand of the high priest, and also the western lamp burning continuously. Yet the Talmud indicates that for the 40 years prior to the destruction of the Temple (the period following the crucifixion of Jesus), the crimson wool on the scapegoat never again turn white, nor did the several other omens of successful atonement ever again indicate that God accepted their atonement: From the Talmud, Yoma 39b:5 תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה קוֹדֶם חוּרְבַּן הַבַּיִת לֹא הָיָה גּוֹרָל עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין, וְלֹא הָיָה לָשׁוֹן שֶׁל זְהוֹרִית מַלְבִּין, וְלֹא הָיָה נֵר מַעֲרָבִי דּוֹלֵק. The Sages taught: During the tenure of Shimon HaTzaddik, the lot for God always arose in the High Priest’s right hand; after his death, it occurred only occasionally; but during the forty years prior to the destruction of the Second Temple, the lot for God did not arise in the High Priest’s right hand at all. So too, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel did not turn white, and the westernmost lamp of the candelabrum did not burn continually. Think about this. Caiaphas (and the other plotters) had Jesus crucified, then the Temple curtain tore, and then for the next 40 years until the Temple was destroyed, the very omens that they looked to as confirmation that God accepted their sacrificial atonements stoped indicating that their atonements were accepted. That must be a grim sign to behold. You'd think that after seeing all this, he would think back to that moment when he spoke prophecy, and realize how badly he misinterpreted his own prophecy. John 11:45-53 [Preceding context: Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead.] 45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they made plans to put him to death. - If you were the high priest, how would you rationalize this? You couldn't. It would simply be denial, especially in light of all the signs that Jesus had performed. God gave Jesus as the atonement for our sins, and no other way was acceptable to him after Jesus made his sacrifice, offering his own blood on the cross. Not only did the Temple curtain tear, but the omens never again indicated that their sacrifices effected any sort of successful atonement from that time on to the point when the Temple was destroyed. However, even if Caiaphas was stiff-necked to the very end, not all the members of the Sanhedrin were that way. One extremely prominent member of the Sanhedrin, Menachem, who co-led the Sanhedrin with Hillel (you can't get more prominent than that!), abandoned the Sanhedrin to become a believer and follower of Jesus, and he took 80 pairs of disciples with him. Menachem even has a mention in the New Testament: he is mentioned in Acts 13:1 as "Manaen", who was a friend of Herod. The fact that he knew Herod and was a friend of Herod from childhood and had the gift of prophecy were apparently his identifiers. Dr. Joseph Shulam explains some of what other ancient sources says about this Menachem and what we can infer from this ancient evidence. Lecture - Joseph Shulam - Heretical Rabbis of the Talmud: Witnesses to the Power of Yeshua's Gospel It seemed that Menachem confronted what happened, and simply could not rationalize what happened in the Temple after Christ died, and actually did the hardest thing: abandoned his high position as a leader of the Sanhedrin to become a follower of Jesus. I'm sure Caiaphas witnessed Menachem abandoning his secure and socially prominent position as the co-leader of the Sanhedrin. I'm sure there were serious and impassioned debates in the Sanhedrin over this. And given that Menachem led 80 pairs of disciples with him to become believers in Jesus, I'm sure he made a spirited defense of Jesus as the Messiah, with all the reasoning and evidence he could muster, and evangelized everyone in his hearing. By the time all that was done, Caiaphas had absolutely no good rationalization.

Steve Kerp, You are wrong, but let's change the subject to some comments on this video: Cleopatra, the Ptolemys were of Greek descent and looked like Greeks and nothing like the Ethiopians. The Hebrew language was never completely dead. The name "Jesus" has existed since the 17th century, and God never revealed this name. Jesus (gee-sus) comes from Iesus (ee-sus, this name is found in the KJV of 1611), and Iesus comes from Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Now consider the testimony of the apostle Peter, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). What does this mean? This means that the names of Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous were never revealed by God, but come to us by the tongue of mankind, and therefore, these names, Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous are counterfeit names never revealed by God. Once again, mankind makes void the revelation of God for their traditions. Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders...?” He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written: ‘This people honors Me with their lips, But their heart is far from Me. And in vain they worship Me, Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’ For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition" (Mark 7:5-9). God revealed the name of salvation, but mankind rejected the revealed name, YAHSHUA, for names not revealed but produced by the tongue of man. Jews are a white ruddy people (Lamentations 4:7; 1 Samuel 16:12; Song of Solomon 5:10). Ham is the progenitor of the Dark Race (Zondervan Dictionary, 1967). Esau married women of the Hittites, who are the descendants of Ham, and therefore, Esau had black kids (Genesis 26:34).
The issue of the Septuagint differing from the Masoretic has two important subtexts: 1. The danger of ascribing too much importance to the literalness of the Bible instead of the God who it describes and His salvation for us. 2. The deceitfulness of the jews who rejected Jesus as their Messiah. After Jesus and the destruction of the temple in 70AD, they were faced with the literal extinction of Judaism. In response, they corrupted their own Holy Scriptures and also wrote alternate versions of the NT books in order to discredit Christianity.
The Septuagint were Greek, Egyptian & Israeli Jewish scholars. While Israel at the time was under the control of Macedonian Greeks, most Israelites spoke Aramaic and did not have a complete mastering of Koine Greek, which is a very complicated declined language (i.e. where the endings of each word indicates it’s place in a sentence, unlike English, where the word order indicates it’s place in a sentence). On the other hand, there were large Jewish communities living in Greece since at least the 4th Century BCE as evidenced by the Jewish Synagogue in the Agora of Athens that has been dated between the 4th or late 3rd Century BCE. While Greek Jews were completely fluent in Koine Greek, the Jewish version does differs slightly from Greek Koine or "common Attic” Greek with minor variations in syntax and vocabulary. It's also important to note that Greek Jews had a close relationship with "Alexander the Great" who was a Macedonian Greek. Jews traveled with Alexander & his army to Spain and Egypt, etc. Many Greek Jews settled in Spain (Sepharad) and are known as Sephardic Jews. The Jews who settled in Egypt are known as Hellenistic Jews. The Macedonian Greek rule of Egypt was known as the Ptolemaic Period, beginning with Ptolemy I Soter, who was a general in Alexander's army and a close companion of Alexander. His son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, (284 to 246 BCE) was the Greek Pharaoh of Egypt who requested the 72 Hebrew scholars -six from each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel -- to translate the books of the old Testament (Tanakh) from Hebrew into Koine Greek for the Library of Alexandria. it was a huge undertaking and it took many years to complete. The Greek Ptolemaic rule of Egypt continued until the Romans conquered Greece & Egypt in 30 BCE. The last Ptolemaic Greek ruler was the famed Queen Cleopatra (actually Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator) who was involved with Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony. When the Romans conquered Greece they called it 2nd Rome. Greek Jews were given partial Roman citizenship by Julius Caesar & were called Romaniote Jews, while Italian Jews had full citizenship and were called Roman Jews. The Jews of Egypt were known as Hellenistic Jews. My family are comprised of Romaniote, Roman and Sephardic Jews. Unfortunately most Romaniote Jews were murdered by the Nazis during WWII. Only 4 members of my family who were living in Greece during WWII survived..
@@nadiachicago33 They are called "Israeli" not "Isreali". There were Israeli scholars as early as the 10th Century BCE or possbly earller. From Wikipedia: The Song of Moses (Deuteronomy 32:1-43) and the Song of Deborah (Judges 5) were written in Archaic Biblical Hebrew, also called Old Hebrew or Paleo-Hebrew (10th-6th centuries BCE, corresponding to the Monarchic Period until the Babylonian Exile). The oldest manuscripts discovered yet, including those of the Dead Sea Scrolls, date to about the 2nd century BCE. While Jewish tradition holds that the Pentateuch was written between the 16th century and the 12th century BCE, secular scholars are virtually unanimous in rejecting these early datings, and agree that there was a final redaction some time between 900-450 BCE,
Because Emmanuel was a title, Jesus is his name. This is the Hebrew word for Joshua. When Moses calls him I am or Yahweh that is the name God gave to them because he didn’t want to tell them his secret name but he hit it in the text anyway when Joshua Meets the angel of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ himself. We see that Joshua, the son of nun(none= Think Melky Sedeck without beginning our end mother or father) Hear the typology gets thick. Moses cannot enter the land of promise because he struck the rocket Mara twice that’s for one offense. He is unable to enter the promised land. But the people have brought into the promised land by Joshua, which is to say Jesus. By the law shall flesh be justified. Moses represents the law. But by Joshua or Yeshua people enter the land with him. Because Christ paid for their sins that he said on the cross, it has finished because there is nothing you can add to his salvation if you do damned and you’re not covered from your sins. You try to take the work of your hands, fig leaves or cotton, and cover yourself instead of covering yourself with the lambkins that God provided for Adam and Eve. Which required a sacrifice of a lamb. That’s we are told not to mix our works with the finished work of God that we do not wear a garment or a covering that is made of wool and cotton Wall again representing a lamb will cotton is the work of your hands. You have to grow it out of the ground. Remember Kane and Able Kane tries to sacrifice the work of his hands out of the ground, but Able a lamb. It’s all metaphor so you understand the truth of God you’re saved by faith alone, not of works less any mentioned boast

Why are you adding the ages of Moses, his father and grandfather to make one long timeline, when they would have overlapped? Moses wasn't born for example, when his father's life ended. So why add their years together? Nonsense.

The Bible affirms that Many from the 10 tribes in the northern kingdom of Israel, migrated south to Judah because of Israel’s ungodliness, prior to the destruction of Judah in 586 BC. So a remnant from all the tribes survived in Judah and some were exiled to Babylon, etc..

The Orthodox Church has always used the LXX. The Orthodox Study Bible (Thomas Nelson publishing) is an excellent English translation from the LXX Greek. (If your Greek us Rusty.)
Jesus quoted from the Septuagint,and the Orthodox Church recognizes the Septuagint as authorized scripture not the Masoretic text. Masoretic text was translated without the Holy Spirit but by Rabbinic Jews.
Depending on who the teacher of the Bible, regardless of the translation, the Holy Bible itself in all it's many iterations and translations is the most dangerous book in the world. The Bible can be used as a Book of Good, or it can be wielded to be used as a Book of Evil. More deaths and division around the world are caused by the words coming forth from it's pages. It all depends upon the intention of the one teaching it.
It's amazing how the hate they have for Yashua is still permeating to this day. But makes perfect sense, as they were the reason for his death. Read the Talmud, it will show you how they feel about Yashua.
It seems impossible that the Jewish community could believe the Old Testament and yet reject all the prophecies that point directly to Jesus, but this too is a fulfillment of the prophecy found in Isaiah 44:18.
There are some issues here, the original Septuagint manuscripts are long lost. And when it eas first translated it was only the Torah, all the other books came later so that contradicts that Justin Martyr quote. In reality we don't know what the original manuscripts said because they don't exist anymore.
Except for the part where the quotes from the new testament to the old follow the Septuagint and not the Hebrew. So they existed in Justin martyrs time.
The original Septuagint manuscripts are not long lost. The earliest fragments date within a century or two of the originals. That's better historical evidence than almost all other ancient manuscripts from that time period.

The account given at the begining, where Aristeas writes to Philocrati that the Judean governor sent seventy two Jewish rabbis, 6 from each tribe, doesn't square with the history of what happened to the Israelites: among the identifiable tribes at that time, as far as I understand, there were only Judah, Levi, and Benjamin. The northern tribes were exiled by the Assyrians, and though there were northern refugees to the south, so they weren't wiped out, they were assimilated and didn't maintain their tribal affiliations as far as I am aware.
And the “tribes “ seems never to be a tribe. It appeared a local people forced into an ideology to that wanted to create a nation. There wasn’t any “tribes”. The gaslighting in the text tries to do the same to you today: turn you into a sheep. You are not a sheep!
@@magistradox39 No, he has a point. Listen I’m a Christian but I know from studying the Prophets and the Writings that the 10 tribes were sent into exile by the Assyrian captivity around the 8th century BCE. They became utterly untraceable and absorbed into the surrounding regions of their migrations for the most part. The narrative thus doesn’t make sense to say that 6 from each tribe were taken to write and compile the Greek Septuagint. It most likely was an exaggerated story to enforce credibility and authority of the text given the period and circumstances of the Jewish nation at the time. It has nothing to do with whether the Greek Septuagint was divinely inspired or not. I just found it funny because it is such a simple fact and was right in front of our faces in regard to what the OP pointed out. Often that happens a lot because we are human
The northern tribes being the line of David right? Those were the ones that were assimilated into Babylonian culture. So there really wasn't much lineage left of the northern tribes that wasn't either in Babylon or Egypt,
I’ve never heard Septuagint pronounced that way. I imagine if you never heard it pronounced out loud but had to work out a pronunciation in your head this is a good enough guess however peculiar.

I don't see it this way and here is why. To claim that the Septuagint is "the most dangerous book in the world" is a dramatic statement often used to highlight its significant impact and the controversies surrounding it. However, here are some reasons why this claim is considered an exaggeration: 1. Historical Context: The Septuagint was created in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE as a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible for the Jewish community in Alexandria, Egypt. It was intended to make the scriptures accessible to Jews who spoke Greek, not to distort or harm the original texts. 2. Scholarly Value: The Septuagint is a valuable resource for biblical scholars because it provides insights into how the Hebrew texts were understood in ancient times. It also helps in comparing different textual traditions, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic Text. 3. Religious Significance: While some Jewish traditions view the Septuagint with suspicion, it has been highly influential in Christianity. Many early Christians used the Septuagint, and it is quoted extensively in the New Testament. This shows its importance in the development of Christian theology and its role in bridging Jewish and Christian traditions. 4. Textual Variations: The differences between the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text are often due to variations in translation and interpretation rather than intentional distortions. These variations are common in ancient texts and are studied to understand the evolution of biblical literature. 5. Cultural Impact: The Septuagint played a crucial role in the spread of Jewish and Christian ideas throughout the Hellenistic world. Its translation into Greek made the Hebrew scriptures accessible to a broader audience, contributing to the cultural and religious exchange of the time. Now the Septuagint has been a subject of debate and controversy, labeling it as "dangerous" overlooks its historical, scholarly, and religious significance. Viewing it as a complex and influential text that has shaped religious thought for centuries is more accurate.
The Septuagint was translated by 72 Jewish scholars, six from each of the 12 tribes of Israel. They were not Greek scholars but Jewish ones. If there was any error in the translation. do you not think that one of these 72 scholars would have discovered this error and corrected it? If anyone believes the Septuagint is somehow a false version of the Old Testament then they believe they are wiser than these scholars and that is a very arrogant claim to make.
They were not Jewish they were Israelites.

My father is a Biblical scholar and he taught me all of this stuff. By the way, my priest recently told me that the Masoretic Text was a reaction to Christianity; it was done by traditionalist medieval Jews to "prove" that Jesus of Nazareth is NOT the Messiah.
A rabbi in 70 AD, was part of those rabbis had intense for Christ, and set up new structure that would block any reference to Christ.
This Hebrew text was assembled in 1100 AD marked by disunity and contention vs the miraculous perfect unity if writers of the Septuagint.

That’s because the LXX was done to hide the fact that during First Temple Judaism the King of Judea was YHWH. King David and every King of the House of David was their God YHWH, or Son of YHWH. It was simply much like the Roman Imperial Cult where the Emperor Caesar was God.
@@joshuaclabeaux1470 we were taught that the Hebrews were afraid of making mistakes in copying. So why would that change? Unless they altered the ones they wanted us to have?
They failed.
The Dead Sea Scrolls adds more credibility to the Septuagint than it typically does to the Masoretic. All sources should be taken into account when translating, and all variants should be noted.
when someone says that dss isaiah 7:14 renders "virgin" (using the word "almah"), they are being intentionally deceptive. lxx gives us "parthenos" which is greek for "virgin" (i think). but the hebrew betulah is specifically "virgin", as the hymen is betullim (think i did that right). my old interlinear bible shows betulah. but dss is almah. and while almah can refer to someone who is a virgin, calling her an almah is not calling her a virgin. only that she is young, and may be a virgin. so dss if translated honestly renders: "behold, the young woman who might be a virgin will give birth..."
but nope. its a virgin!!!
The book of Isaiah in its fullness is found in the dead Sea scrolls. It matches the king James version which is based off of the Muretic text if memory serves me.
@@PrescottJohnson-gfh What you are stating here regarding Isaiah 7v14 (almah) is False - do not mislead people, God's Judgment will follow if you do - check out all contexts in the Old Testament for Hebrew words Almah and Betulah and you will find the opposite to what you said is True - in other words in Isaiah 7v14 God is telling us a 'Virgin' will conceive and bear a Son (God's Only Begotten Son) which the New Testament Confirms.

I'll have to paraphrase this, but Dr. Chuck Missler used to say something along the lines :"You know the Bible is true b/c the old testament foretells the new, and the new testament proves the old" something like that. he also goes on to say " he really doubts a bunch of jewish scribes who lived hundreds of yrs apart, were able to cook up this grand conspiracy and make the 2 books coincide with one another"

The Hebrew language was never completely dead.
The name "Jesus" has existed since the 17th century, and God never revealed this name. Jesus (gee-sus) comes from Iesus (ee-sus, this name is found in the KJV of 1611), and Iesus comes from Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Now consider the testimony of the apostle Peter, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). What does this mean? This means that the names of Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous were never revealed by God, but come to us by the tongue of mankind, and therefore, these names, Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous are counterfeit names never revealed by God. Once again, mankind makes void the revelation of God for their traditions.
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders...?”
He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition" (Mark 7:5-9).
God revealed the name of salvation, but mankind rejected the revealed name, YAHSHUA, for names not revealed but produced by the tongue of man.

What translation using the mess erratic text tries to imply to Jesus is not the Christ or even God incarnate.

Most modern Bibles are following the Alexandria test and obscure text that doesn’t have duplicates and is clearly a bad text. Again, where are you getting sept two agent books beyond the first five books of Moses this needs to be explained only had the first five books translated as he was looking for constitutions of countries, not religious texts in their entirety. He wanted to know the law of the Jews, like he knew the law of the Spartans.

Originally, the West used the LXX too, until St. Jerome opted for the Hebrew & Aramaic text for his "Vulgate" translation. St. Augustine of Hippo protested but could not persuade Jerome otherwise after the two exchanged a serious of letters about this question.
@@michaels4255 However, the Catholic Old Testament canon includes the books from the Septuagint which are not included in the Hebrew canon.
@@michaels4255 Eventually, Jerome accepts the Septuagint.
In the New Testament, there are 332 direct references from Matthews (51), Mark (11), Luke (29), John (20), Acts (53), Romans (29), 1&2 Corinthians (23), Galatians (3), Ephesians (8), Philippians (3), Colossians (1), 1&2 Thessalonians (8), 1&2 Timothy (11), Titus (2), Hebrews (23), James (22), 1&2 Peter (9), 1 John (1), and Revelations (22), to the Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Baruch 1 & 2 Maccabees, within the Septuagint Bible.
Here's an example where the Greek gospels present Jesus as quoting the Septuagint: In Mark 7:6-7, Jesus quotes the LXX of Isaiah 29:13 when he says, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their heart is far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching as doctrines the precepts of men.’”

Too bad the orthodox church rejects the teaching of the Bible and puts tradition ABOVE Scripture, just like ALL "Catholic churches".
@@ownpetard8379 Sorry, you have been mislead: It is well known that St. Jerome used the earliest copies of the Septuagint to complete the original Latin Vulgate translation.
*[Christian History originally published this article in Christian History Issue #28 in 1990]*
_[(...) At first Jerome worked from the Greek Old Testament, the Septuagint. But then he established a precedent for all good translators: the Old Testament would have to be translated from the original Hebrew. In his quest for accuracy, Jerome consulted Jewish rabbis.
In translating the Old Testament, something struck Jerome: the books the Jews regarded as Holy Scripture did not include the books we know as the Apocryphal. These books had been included in the Septuagint, the basis of most older translations, and Jerome was compelled by the church to include them. But he made it clear that in his opinion the Apocryphal books were only liber ecclesiastici (church books to be read for edification), as opposed to the fully inspired liber canonici (canonical books to establish doctrine). Over one thousand years later, the leaders of the Reformation would follow Jerome’s lead and not include the Apocrypha in the Protestant Bibles (...)]_

Well, the Orthodox use the Septuagint because of Apostolic succession. The church was started by the Apostles and they had to use the Septuagint because they were talking to gentiles and they used it to prove that Jesus was the messiah as well as for liturgical text. The Greek book was already in the Synagogues of the diaspora Jews (many of them only spoke Greek anyway). Even if they knew any variation in the Jewish text the authors of the new testament had to use references to the Septuagint and not anything else because the early church knew only that and their followers would be confused by any other terminology.
A lot of hellenized jews in the world at that time.
Jesus used the "70" to preach to the masses, then the apostles. There's no apostolic succession; that's a human fairytale of the Catholics & then the Greeks who fawned after them perpetrated. The bride is the succession of Christ, & the bride is the ekklesia, not some exalted popette. Use your kefali, maragoudakis! Would any apostle be able to call down Christ to a successor to make him an apostle? And what about unbelieving children, or apostles who had no children? Paul was the last apostle appointed & anointed by Jesus Himself. Why would there need to be more, anyway? I was born & raised Greek Eastern Orthodox, so please don't waste time telling me what you believe. Orthos had some doctrines straight, but over time have slipped increasingly into nonsense & Catholicism, even the filthy heresy of universalism. The Bible teaches nothing of such things.
You won't change that abysmally thick-headed sect. Either you do as God commands, Come out & be holy, or be rounded up & chucked into the lake of fire.

Not all of Jacob's sons are jews. They are Hebrews. Each with their own tribe plus two of Joseph's sons born in Egypy, whom Jacob adopted. Joseph took the place of the first born and got a double portion because Ruben defiled his father's bed with Billah.
Isaiah 9:6 (Masoretic): For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace.
Isaiah 9:6 (LXX): For a child is born to us, and a son is given to us, whose government is upon his shoulder: and his name is called the Messenger of great counsel: for I will bring peace upon the princes, and health to him.
Surely the Masoretic conspirators should have been wise enough to agree with the Septuagint on this one?

There are two problems with the criticism of the Masoretic Text presented at the end of this video: 1) The Great Isaiah Scroll discovered among the Dead Sea Scrolls is as old as the original translation of the Septuagint and is nearly identical to the Masoretic (proving the Masoretic Text already existed in some form alongside the Septuagint), and 2) the Masoretes were hyper-OCD about copying the EXACT text they were looking at to the extent that they even included known scribal errors and other aberrant features found in the scrolls they were copying from! Therefore It’s HIGHLY unlikely that the discrepancies between the Masoretic and Septuagint were intentional. Now, I agree that the Septuagint is worthy to be analyzed alongside the Masoretic since Christ and the Apostles quoted it so frequently, but that doesn’t mean the Hebrew text is worthless!
But not Isaiah 7:14 which is in the video. For that verse dead sea scroll and LXX agree, Masoretic does not.

I've heard this--that the 72 translations were identical, thus demonstrating that the translation was divinely guided. However, scholars comparing the Septuagint with the Hebrew and Aramaic originals have found errors in the translation. Did every translator also make identical errors? Curious indeed!
What originals?
It's not curious at all, because that story about the 72 scholars is just a legend with no basis in fact.
There aren't 72 translations, it is one translation made by 72 translators.
The errors were on purpose because it was a rewrite. The errors were identical because the scholars all agreed on what the bible would say going forward.
The errors we have found adds time to our timeline. We're not far past the millennium reign.
The Aleppo codex is older than the Leningrad codex. Bibles before 1947 were based off the Aleppo codex. After 1947 the Pentateuch went missing and now newer translations use the Leningrad codex. The Leningrad codex was corrected using the Aleppo codex. The Leningrad codex was not used as something to translate from until its discovery in the 1800's.

The tradition of the septuigent, only accounts for the books of the Torah. Not the prophets. Not the writings. Any greek translation of the books of the prophets or the writings were not part of the referenced septuigent tradition professed here. Did scribes eventully make greek copies of the writings and the prophets. Yes, but they were done so seperately, and no copies exist today to confirm. Many of the fragments of greek portions from the Tanakh may in fact be scribal errors that were discarded for the error. As scribes can not destroy any document containing the name of Hashem on them, we, finding fragments 2000 years later can not confirm or deny that these fragments and their "errors" may infact have been known as errors. Not all, but some. Not making a black and white stance. Just informing the less informed who are interested in this topic.
Here is some food for thought. For those who think older is better. The oldest fragments are from the 1st century bce. The term septuigent refers to any and all copies and fragments we have, from different sources, of any part of the bible written in greek. The septuigent mentioned as being referenced for the writing of whatever translation your reading used different sources by different authors who produced a translated commentary. No language directly translates into another. Translators have biases. If your not reading it in hebrew, your readibg a translators biases into the translation.
Summarize. The septuigent is not a book of the greek hebrew bible. The tradition was the Torah was translated, not the whole Tanakh. Later scribes did translate other books into greek. Some of these had errors and were disposed of but not destroyed, meaning many of what we have today may be the erroneous copies deemed unworthy. The copies we have today are multiple, differing in some places. Any and all attempts to copy the hebrew bible into greek is called septuigent, even the bad copies.
G-d loves us all, we have no excuse in this day and age not to seek His truth and grow in our knowledge and understanding. So anyone reading this, make G-d a priority, do some research and learn and challenge what you learn from multiple sources.
In the preface to his 1844 translation of the Septuagint, Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton acknowledges that the Jews of Alexandria were likely to have been the writers of the Septuagint, but dismisses Aristeas' account as a pious fiction. Instead, he asserts that the real origin of the name "Septuagint" pertains to the fact that the earliest version was forwarded by the authors to the Jewish Sanhedrin at Alexandria for editing and approval.
I believe that
Thanks. That's really interesting.
How did He Know This?
he was wrong any way
This seems to clear up the issue of how there could not have been 6 from every tribe when the Northern tribes were lost in assimilation due to exile by the Assyrians when the Septuigant put together.
It can’t be dangerous if it no longer exists. The narrator originally admits the Septuagint was only the Torah, later relies on it for Isaiah text. It’s magic like cups and balls; where’s the ball now?
The Torah was translated in the 3rd century BC, and the rest of the Old Testament in the 2nd century BC.
In the Septuagint, the naked young man following Jesus in the garden when the Romans arrested him was translated as “young man” but “young boy” according to Dr. Hillman who has a channel on RUclips called “Lady Babylon”.

Pope Damasus gave to Jerome the order to translate the septuaginte to latin. Jerome used the knowledge of Rabbies and hebrew manuscripts to understand better the greek text of the septuagint. Even though the vulgata did use some hebraic sources it is not based on the masoretic text. Jerome did also examine the question of Betulah and Almah and came also to the conclusion that the word almah that is now used in the masoretic text renders the best the word of virgin. In fact to say a women was young was the oriental way to say that she was virgin. Also in the indogermanic languages this is the case. In german a virgin is a "Jung-Frau". A Betulah may have been married. She only has no man now. A widow is a Betulah but no virgin. Even the masoretic text adds the precision Almah to Betulah when it comes to affirm the virginity IMHO.
I value your opinion very much. Jerome aside, Jewish scholars (and Wikipedia) continue to argue that Almah does not imply virginity, which is the central issue for the miraculous birth of Christ.
@@diggingupthebible Jerome actually mentioned he was aware of Rabbinic statements about this in his time--as well as before the time of Christ, and that not only were Hebrew users aware it signified "Virgin", but the sages said so: likewise Rashi refers to this.
Christians didn't arise ex nihilo from Pagans misreading Jewish texts. Jewish figures are really in a fight with their own ancient forbears' own understandings, and departures that came later for reasons of remaining distinct.
Jerome did not Translate The Septuagint, He Translated The Hebrew. But it was Not the Masoretic Text as That did Not Exist Until The 6th-10th Century AD.
Alexander the Great, Plato, Jesus all virgin born. Must have been something in the water
almah actually means one's nakedness has never been seen, not that they are young.
Here is something to know, the word used in the masoretic text for young women can actually being translated as both young women or virgin, not just just young women.
Yes, and in the context of the time period, to be a young unmarried woman implied virgin.
Wrong, You do not know how to Read and Write, Christians believe 99& Groggy Blasphemy and Anti Semite Bovine crap.
The good ol' days.
well, usually a virgin is a young woman, especially in those days.
St Jerome used the Septuagint too ... the Masoretic texts were compiled in the Middle Ages; the key differences between both compilations are that the Masoretic texts excluded 7 books from the Septuagint, including Maccabees ...
I already forsee Muslims and atheists typing in the comments, "We've been saying all along your Scriptures have been corrupted. Now you yourselves are being forced to admit this."
Well, no. If it wasn't for the Septuagint, we would have no idea whether the Masoretic text could be trusted. Now we know that even though they were entirely separate textual traditions, the text remained essentially the same. There were mistakes made by imperfect humans, but now we know where exactly they were made. With the vast majority of other books, including the Quran, with all of its earliest manuscripts except for one having been burned, we just have to trust the survivor.
Lol, like their book is in its original form. If you investigate that claim you'll see it's total nonsense.
@@Matthew-t8q Their you mean whose?
@@dmitrimikrioukov5935 The Bible we have now does have some drift, over the time span we’re discussing, that’s to be expected. Now let’s describe the level of error; 2-3 %. And when one does one’s homework, you find that 2-3% is mainly due to translation error, because a translator brings his own biases and ideas to the text. It strikes me as deeply ironic that the bulk of people decrying the Bible’s legitimacy have scarcely read it. Same issue; preconceived ideas
Excellent point!!!

Another breakthrough masterpiece novel “Where Do We Go Now, LORD? - Burke.” Explains much. Very much.
Are you self-advertising? Cleopatra, the Ptolemys were of Greek descent and looked like Greeks and nothing like the Ethiopians.
The Hebrew language was never completely dead.
The name "Jesus" has existed since the 17th century, and God never revealed this name. Jesus (gee-sus) comes from Iesus (ee-sus, this name is found in the KJV of 1611), and Iesus comes from Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Now consider the testimony of the apostle Peter, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). What does this mean? This means that the names of Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous were never revealed by God, but come to us by the tongue of mankind, and therefore, these names, Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous are counterfeit names never revealed by God. Once again, mankind makes void the revelation of God for their traditions.
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders...?”
He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition" (Mark 7:5-9).
God revealed the name of salvation, but mankind rejected the revealed name, YAHSHUA, for names not revealed but produced by the tongue of man.
Jews are a white ruddy people (Lamentations 4:7; 1 Samuel 16:12; Song of Solomon 5:10).
Ham is the progenitor of the Dark Race (Zondervan Dictionary, 1967).
Esau married women of the Hittites, who are the descendants of Ham, and therefore, Esau had black kids (Genesis 26:34).
The theory was that Ptolemy I was actually Alexander's half brother as Philip was HIS father as well. But this was the later Ptolomeys trying to to tie their family as close to Alexander as possible.
I am awed by not only this presentation, but by the comments below. I feel 'cheated' by religion for presenting only the Bible as the one document. Some of the discussion below, has opened my eyes of 65 years, to the historical records that have been used to explain the validity of the Torah and the Bible, for example. A number of years ago, I began looking (a 'heretical' examination) at the Apocrypha and the unused Gospels. Later, my curiosity reached to those Nag Hamadi finds. These are all in the New Testament period.
But now to learn about the Septuagint and the earlier Jewish texts, has revised new interest.
It was always my understanding that the writing of a Torah, was overseen by rabbinical scholars, to insure that the text was copied exactly as it had been for thousands of years and that there were no mistakes. Now, I wonder if monks weren't the only scribes who may have tweaked the original text.
What are you talking about. It's taught that it's a collection of books. What kinda Church was it ?
Septuagint has 1500years between Adam and Abraham. All the corrupted versions tampered by the Devil has those 1500years removed so it can hide the true timeline and make you lot still wait for the 2nd coming. 6000years from Adam to 70AD. After 70AD was the final 1000years aka Millennial Kingdom. Then comes the period of complete deception which we are currently living in
The vital new people would try to add books that’s why if you take the book of Isaiah, which is 66 chapters you can find traces in each chapter that talk about each of the 66 books and letters. A hidden index. Also trans late the genealogy as follows…
Adam-Seth- ect into Hebrew without the begets and you get hidden sentences which are very Christian.
@@SeanEustace-zk3mc omg. Gtfu otta here this the 600 year after edits.
in 1650 Sy Francis DeSales converted 72,000 Calvanist by defending the Septuigate as canonic scripture because it is the Catholic old testament. he said that the Jews who rejected the 7 books in 90 AD at Jomnia had no standing since Jesus gave the keys to Peter.
Thank you for this fantastic content!🙌🏼📖🎉
Thanks, Jason. You're the best!
The video did not mention one other reason that allowed the Gospel to spread. The long period of peace that followed, Pax Romana. Excellent presentation.
Thank you. I didn't look into the role of the Pax Romana in spreading the gospel. Maybe it's a topic for another video.
You said that Matthew quoted the septuagint for Isaiah 7:14, but this is contradictory with your introduction when you say that the spetuagint is a greek translation of the jewish Torah. Isaiah is not part of the Torah.
While yes, the Torah is generally for the first 5 books, there are in some instances, though probably incorrectly, where it refers to the whole of the Old Testament.
Correct it's part of the Septuagint
Egyptians never wrote anything about the exudus
Jews used the Inter-testamental books until the 2nd century. They were found in the Dead Sea scrolls.
"The most dangerous" person in the world...YOURSELF.
You have a language-tech problem here considering that the Septuagint's Greek is a more complex/detailed text; Ancient Hebrew only has appx 8000 words in its lexicon, whereas Ancient Greek has appx 1mil. One could simplify a translation going from Greek to Hebrew as the translators have a bigger pool of words, but not the other way around for Hebrew to Greek - . Go and listen to the Dr Hillman over at Lady Babylon, a Philologist who studies languages evolving over time, expert in Ancient Greek, medical practices and drug use in Antiquity, and hear how we have got it all wrong;
The Hebrew text is the translation of the Septuagint.

Revelation 2:9 explains who THEY are.
Mark 14:51-52 in LXX explains who they (the christians) are. Why was Jesus the Enchristened in the sacred grove with a naked boy that had a linen bandage on his privates soaked in The Burning Purple at 4AM and the first thing to come out of his mouth is, "I am not a pirate!"? "You mean to scandalize me?"
Wow! Very enlightening! Well done. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Honestly the text traditions of the Septuagint were a major eye opener for me. Then I come to learn that the Hebrew Masoretic Text with the Aleppo Codex being written under the Abbasid Caliphate which is the same group that was compiling the Koran. Also looking into the Latin Vulgate there are places where it has higher degree of agreement with the LXX (Septuagint) over the later Masoretic Text.
Great research! Keep it up!
masseteric text was a jewish trick, the septuagint was converted from aramaic
Nope. Aramaic was not the language used by scholars or scribes at that point in history. It was written in Greek. How many unique words are in Aramaic? 1.5 MILLION in classical Greek.
The priests of the temple and almost ALL Palestinian levies condemned the translation as😢 Blasphemy,as do those coreligionist Karaites to this day. To us any translation is only a commentary and very Suspect. We Never use any translation and are Not bound by any commentary or Midrash. This obliged the students of the Texts to remain always and ever scholars of the Language
Very well put together. You hit the historical points on the head. It's a dangerous book today as well. Most professing Christians won't read it, or see it's value. Thanks for sharing.
Thankfully Catholic Christians read it.
Well done sir 👍🏻 keep it up!
Good thing authorities said that version of the bible was discontinued. We want to know which calendar the Hebrews went by while that bible was being written.
The Dead Sea Scrolls have copies of both the Masoretic and the Septuagint versions. This shows that both the Greek and the Hebrew were used at the time of Christ. The scribes could not have invented scriptures to disprove Christ , before Christ came. There are other reasons for the differences.
Shalom Shalom!!!
When someone is willfully blind, brazen dismissal of necessary inferences is not only possible, but a matter of course.
It wasn't just that the curtain temple tore. The Talmud records that during the Day of Atonement, they had a tradition of tying a crimson strip of wool to the head of goat which they released, and there was an omen that indicated whether or not their sacrifices were accepted by God and their sins forgiven: the crimson ribbon would turn white. The Talmud records that during the tenure of a high priest called "Simon the Righteous" (Shimon HaTzaddik) this omen consistently happened:
From the Talmud, Yoma 39a:15 (with intercalated explanations in English)
תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה שֶׁשִּׁמֵּשׁ שִׁמְעוֹן הַצַּדִּיק, הָיָה גּוֹרָל עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין פְּעָמִים עוֹלֶה בִּשְׂמֹאל. וְהָיָה לָשׁוֹן שֶׁל זְהוֹרִית מַלְבִּין. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים מַלְבִּין פְּעָמִים אֵינוֹ מַלְבִּין. וְהָיָה נֵר מַעֲרָבִי דּוֹלֵק. מִכָּאן וְאֵילָךְ, פְּעָמִים דּוֹלֵק פְּעָמִים כָּבֶה.§
The Sages taught: During all forty years that Shimon HaTzaddik served as High Priest, the lot for God arose in the right hand. From then onward, sometimes it arose in the right hand and sometimes it arose in the left hand. Furthermore, during his tenure as High Priest, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel turned white, indicating that the sins of the people had been forgiven, as it is written: “Though your sins be as crimson, they shall be white as snow” (Isaiah 1:18). From then onward, it sometimes turned white and sometimes it did not turn white. Furthermore, the western lamp of the candelabrum would burn continuously as a sign that God’s presence rested upon the nation. From then onward, it sometimes burned and sometimes it went out.
There were several other omens they looked for as indications that God accepted their atonement, as mentioned above: some sort of picking lots at random to see if the marked one ended up in the right hand of the high priest, and also the western lamp burning continuously.
Yet the Talmud indicates that for the 40 years prior to the destruction of the Temple (the period following the crucifixion of Jesus), the crimson wool on the scapegoat never again turn white, nor did the several other omens of successful atonement ever again indicate that God accepted their atonement:
From the Talmud, Yoma 39b:5
תָּנוּ רַבָּנַן: אַרְבָּעִים שָׁנָה קוֹדֶם חוּרְבַּן הַבַּיִת לֹא הָיָה גּוֹרָל עוֹלֶה בְּיָמִין, וְלֹא הָיָה לָשׁוֹן שֶׁל זְהוֹרִית מַלְבִּין, וְלֹא הָיָה נֵר מַעֲרָבִי דּוֹלֵק.
The Sages taught: During the tenure of Shimon HaTzaddik, the lot for God always arose in the High Priest’s right hand; after his death, it occurred only occasionally; but during the forty years prior to the destruction of the Second Temple, the lot for God did not arise in the High Priest’s right hand at all. So too, the strip of crimson wool that was tied to the head of the goat that was sent to Azazel did not turn white, and the westernmost lamp of the candelabrum did not burn continually.
Think about this.
Caiaphas (and the other plotters) had Jesus crucified, then the Temple curtain tore, and then for the next 40 years until the Temple was destroyed, the very omens that they looked to as confirmation that God accepted their sacrificial atonements stoped indicating that their atonements were accepted. That must be a grim sign to behold. You'd think that after seeing all this, he would think back to that moment when he spoke prophecy, and realize how badly he misinterpreted his own prophecy.
John 11:45-53
[Preceding context: Jesus had just raised Lazarus from the dead.] 45 Many of the Jews therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what he did, believed in him, 46 but some of them went to the Pharisees and told them what Jesus had done. 47 So the chief priests and the Pharisees gathered the council and said, “What are we to do? For this man performs many signs. 48 If we let him go on like this, everyone will believe in him, and the Romans will come and take away both our place and our nation.” 49 But one of them, Caiaphas, who was high priest that year, said to them, “You know nothing at all. 50 Nor do you understand that it is better for you that one man should die for the people, not that the whole nation should perish.” 51 He did not say this of his own accord, but being high priest that year he prophesied that Jesus would die for the nation, 52 and not for the nation only, but also to gather into one the children of God who are scattered abroad. 53 So from that day on they made plans to put him to death.
-
If you were the high priest, how would you rationalize this? You couldn't. It would simply be denial, especially in light of all the signs that Jesus had performed. God gave Jesus as the atonement for our sins, and no other way was acceptable to him after Jesus made his sacrifice, offering his own blood on the cross. Not only did the Temple curtain tear, but the omens never again indicated that their sacrifices effected any sort of successful atonement from that time on to the point when the Temple was destroyed.
However, even if Caiaphas was stiff-necked to the very end, not all the members of the Sanhedrin were that way. One extremely prominent member of the Sanhedrin, Menachem, who co-led the Sanhedrin with Hillel (you can't get more prominent than that!), abandoned the Sanhedrin to become a believer and follower of Jesus, and he took 80 pairs of disciples with him. Menachem even has a mention in the New Testament: he is mentioned in Acts 13:1 as "Manaen", who was a friend of Herod. The fact that he knew Herod and was a friend of Herod from childhood and had the gift of prophecy were apparently his identifiers.
Dr. Joseph Shulam explains some of what other ancient sources says about this Menachem and what we can infer from this ancient evidence.
Lecture - Joseph Shulam - Heretical Rabbis of the Talmud: Witnesses to the Power of Yeshua's Gospel
It seemed that Menachem confronted what happened, and simply could not rationalize what happened in the Temple after Christ died, and actually did the hardest thing: abandoned his high position as a leader of the Sanhedrin to become a follower of Jesus.
I'm sure Caiaphas witnessed Menachem abandoning his secure and socially prominent position as the co-leader of the Sanhedrin. I'm sure there were serious and impassioned debates in the Sanhedrin over this. And given that Menachem led 80 pairs of disciples with him to become believers in Jesus, I'm sure he made a spirited defense of Jesus as the Messiah, with all the reasoning and evidence he could muster, and evangelized everyone in his hearing. By the time all that was done, Caiaphas had absolutely no good rationalization.
This is fascinating stuff, Ashton! You should make a video.
Such a bizarre conclusion to this video
At 1:08 you list "the rest of the old testament" including 3 volumes of Maccabees - chronicles of events that took place in 168-164 BC. When you see the so-called "star of David" (10:04) you are seeing the "star of Remphan" of Acts 7:43.

This means that the names of Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous were never revealed by God, but come to us by the tongue of mankind, and therefore, these names, Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous are counterfeit names never revealed by God. Once again, mankind makes void the revelation of God for their traditions.

The issue of the Septuagint differing from the Masoretic has two important subtexts:
1. The danger of ascribing too much importance to the literalness of the Bible instead of the God who it describes and His salvation for us.
2. The deceitfulness of the jews who rejected Jesus as their Messiah. After Jesus and the destruction of the temple in 70AD, they were faced with the literal extinction of Judaism. In response, they corrupted their own Holy Scriptures and also wrote alternate versions of the NT books in order to discredit Christianity.
There is absolutely no way that you could know this or prove

All His purpose, plan and in the end His GLORY. God is never caught by surprise. This is why He had to give us discernment through His Holy Spirit.
@@onejohn2.26. Such dishonest answer. The proof is on the numbers of patriarchs. It can't be a mistake. Thus, it was made on purpose.
The Septuagint were Greek, Egyptian & Israeli Jewish scholars. While Israel at the time was under the control of Macedonian Greeks, most Israelites spoke Aramaic and did not have a complete mastering of Koine Greek, which is a very complicated declined language (i.e. where the endings of each word indicates it’s place in a sentence, unlike English, where the word order indicates it’s place in a sentence).
On the other hand, there were large Jewish communities living in Greece since at least the 4th Century BCE as evidenced by the Jewish Synagogue in the Agora of Athens that has been dated between the 4th or late 3rd Century BCE. While Greek Jews were completely fluent in Koine Greek, the Jewish version does differs slightly from Greek Koine or "common Attic” Greek with minor variations in syntax and vocabulary.
It's also important to note that Greek Jews had a close relationship with "Alexander the Great" who was a Macedonian Greek. Jews traveled with Alexander & his army to Spain and Egypt, etc. Many Greek Jews settled in Spain (Sepharad) and are known as Sephardic Jews. The Jews who settled in Egypt are known as Hellenistic Jews.
The Macedonian Greek rule of Egypt was known as the Ptolemaic Period, beginning with Ptolemy I Soter, who was a general in Alexander's army and a close companion of Alexander.
His son, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, (284 to 246 BCE) was the Greek Pharaoh of Egypt who requested the 72 Hebrew scholars -six from each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel -- to translate the books of the old Testament (Tanakh) from Hebrew into Koine Greek for the Library of Alexandria. it was a huge undertaking and it took many years to complete.
The Greek Ptolemaic rule of Egypt continued until the Romans conquered Greece & Egypt in 30 BCE.
The last Ptolemaic Greek ruler was the famed Queen Cleopatra (actually Cleopatra VII Thea Philopator) who was involved with Julius Caesar and Mark Anthony.
When the Romans conquered Greece they called it 2nd Rome. Greek Jews were given partial Roman citizenship by Julius Caesar & were called Romaniote Jews, while Italian Jews had full citizenship and were called Roman Jews. The Jews of Egypt were known as Hellenistic Jews. My family are comprised of Romaniote, Roman and Sephardic Jews.
Unfortunately most Romaniote Jews were murdered by the Nazis during WWII. Only 4 members of my family who were living in Greece during WWII survived..
Thank you for sharing that, Riki! I'm sorry to hear about your family but you have an amazing story to tell.
No such thing as Isreali scholars back then 😂
@@nadiachicago33
They are called "Israeli" not "Isreali".
There were Israeli scholars as early as the 10th Century BCE or possbly earller.
From Wikipedia:
The Song of Moses (Deuteronomy 32:1-43) and the Song of Deborah (Judges 5) were written in Archaic Biblical Hebrew, also called Old Hebrew or Paleo-Hebrew (10th-6th centuries BCE, corresponding to the Monarchic Period until the Babylonian Exile).
The oldest manuscripts discovered yet, including those of the Dead Sea Scrolls, date to about the 2nd century BCE.
While Jewish tradition holds that the Pentateuch was written between the 16th century and the 12th century BCE, secular scholars are virtually unanimous in rejecting these early datings, and agree that there was a final redaction some time between 900-450 BCE,
The fact that Joseph "sojourned" by way of bringing his family to Egypt from Canaan makes 430 years precise...got it?

How does gematria obtain its miraculous cohesion in the Masoretic text if it is a corrupt version? What is the score with gematria and the LXX?

Because Emmanuel was a title, Jesus is his name. This is the Hebrew word for Joshua. When Moses calls him I am or Yahweh that is the name God gave to them because he didn’t want to tell them his secret name but he hit it in the text anyway when Joshua Meets the angel of the Lord, which is Jesus Christ himself. We see that Joshua, the son of nun(none= Think Melky Sedeck without beginning our end mother or father) Hear the typology gets thick. Moses cannot enter the land of promise because he struck the rocket Mara twice that’s for one offense. He is unable to enter the promised land. But the people have brought into the promised land by Joshua, which is to say Jesus. By the law shall flesh be justified. Moses represents the law.
But by Joshua or Yeshua people enter the land with him. Because Christ paid for their sins that he said on the cross, it has finished because there is nothing you can add to his salvation if you do damned and you’re not covered from your sins. You try to take the work of your hands, fig leaves or cotton, and cover yourself instead of covering yourself with the lambkins that God provided for Adam and Eve. Which required a sacrifice of a lamb. That’s we are told not to mix our works with the finished work of God that we do not wear a garment or a covering that is made of wool and cotton Wall again representing a lamb will cotton is the work of your hands. You have to grow it out of the ground. Remember Kane and Able Kane tries to sacrifice the work of his hands out of the ground, but Able a lamb. It’s all metaphor so you understand the truth of God you’re saved by faith alone, not of works less any mentioned boast
Age Difference Calculation
1. MT Date: Approximately 1008 CE.
2. LXX Date: Approximately 250 BCE.
Calculation
• To find the age difference:
• 1008 CE - (-250 BCE) = 1008 + 250 = 1258 years.
Summary
The Septuagint is approximately 1258 years older than the Masoretic Text.
Though St Jerome used Hebrew copies of the Old Testament, he did include all the books. Yes, The Septiuagent is the true Old Testament, one can find the Greek to whatever language in the Orthodox, and Coptic Bibles.
It's *A.D.* 380-405. A.D. is always placed before the date: (In the) year (of the) Lord 380-405.

Since the Roman Council (382) and the synod of Hippo (292)the septuagint has been a part of the cannon of books in the Catholic bible.
absolutely one of the most interesting and informative videos I have ever seen. I do believe in the timelines, AD appears where BC is meant. does not detract from the fascinating information.
Thanks! That means a lot. (And yes, I messed up AD.)
Wait, How can There be 6 Jewish Rabbis from Each Tribe when Judah was Only One Tribe? Israel has 12 Tribes, They were not The 12 Tribes of The Jews. Jews come from The Tribe of Judeah.
As it turns out we have been given so much misinformation and disinformation about our past that it will take forever to try to figure it out. This is just one more disinformation they want us to believe
And weren't 10 tribes already "lost" to history by that time?
I don’t think the 10 tribes were as “lost” as they want us to think. Diaspora isn’t the same as lost.
The Bible affirms that Many from the 10 tribes in the northern kingdom of Israel, migrated south to Judah because of Israel’s ungodliness, prior to the destruction of Judah in 586 BC. So a remnant from all the tribes survived in Judah and some were exiled to Babylon, etc..
@@sombra6153 As they want us to think? You think they are hiding the fact that they know who the ten tribes are or that they secretly meet and hide it from the world?
The original Septuagent was lost when burned down in the library of Alexandria. A corrupted version survived in Greece.
Im interested to learn more. Please share links etc. Many thanks
Me too.
There were copies in every Hebrew temple throughout the Mediterranean.
@@diggingupthebiblethe original Septuagint was only the first 5 Books of Moses.
If the original burned, how can anyone know what's corrupted?
I have an LXX and read it as well as the MT. How often do read the LXX???
The fact that nobody talks about the book whispers of manifestation on borlest speaks volumes about how people are stuck in a trance
It's funny how each source has a different story about the translation
“The words of the Lord are pure words: as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
Thou shalt keep them, O Lord, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”
-Psalm 12:6-7 KJV ✝️🤍🕊️⛪️
This was interesting.
Thanks! I'm glad you liked it.
The Orthodox Church has always used the LXX. The Orthodox Study Bible (Thomas Nelson publishing) is an excellent English translation from the LXX Greek. (If your Greek us Rusty.)
That's the one I read!
Jesus quoted from the Septuagint,and the Orthodox Church recognizes the Septuagint as authorized scripture not the Masoretic text. Masoretic text was translated without the Holy Spirit but by Rabbinic Jews.
Thank you for your comments!
The pyramids were in water at one point huh
Absolutely yes, indeed .
Some people have thought that, but it seems more likely (based on the lack of erosion) that they were constructed after the great flood.
@@diggingupthebible No shit Sherlock.
A pile of triangles can float. 😁
What? 😎
The Talmud Bavli is the most dangerous book.
It would take me a long time to do a video on that subject.
@@diggingupthebible it's worth it.
Depending on who the teacher of the Bible, regardless of the translation, the Holy Bible itself in all it's many iterations and translations is the most dangerous book in the world. The Bible can be used as a Book of Good, or it can be wielded to be used as a Book of Evil. More deaths and division around the world are caused by the words coming forth from it's pages. It all depends upon the intention of the one teaching it.
It's amazing how the hate they have for Yashua is still permeating to this day. But makes perfect sense, as they were the reason for his death. Read the Talmud, it will show you how they feel about Yashua.
It seems impossible that the Jewish community could believe the Old Testament and yet reject all the prophecies that point directly to Jesus, but this too is a fulfillment of the prophecy found in Isaiah 44:18.
So, Roman emperor Constantine made sure that WE today have the “most dangerous book in the world”?
Lol.. ok 👍
Ironic, isn't it?
"Sept-too-ahh-gent"

There are some issues here, the original Septuagint manuscripts are long lost. And when it eas first translated it was only the Torah, all the other books came later so that contradicts that Justin Martyr quote. In reality we don't know what the original manuscripts said because they don't exist anymore.
Except for the part where the quotes from the new testament to the old follow the Septuagint and not the Hebrew.
So they existed in Justin martyrs time.
The original Septuagint manuscripts are not long lost. The earliest fragments date within a century or two of the originals. That's better historical evidence than almost all other ancient manuscripts from that time period.
@@eddardgreybeard If your referring to the Prophets and writings, I said those were translated to Greek at a later time and not by the 70 translators.
@@diggingupthebible I was referring to complete manuscripts, fragments are also of value. But where they are incomplete it's hard to say if any editing had taken place, or if you're reading it in the same context as our Bibles today.
@@thedude9941
"Later" meaning much earlier than you were willing to concede, because we're taking about quotes from Isaiah that Matthew and even Christ himself made that line up better with the Greek than they do with the Hebrew.
So they were in very good circulation by the first century.
Man some of these comments are worrying.
More like aware of bullshit
Extremely well done.
Thank you kindly!
I think the biggest difference with the Septuagint is Isaiah 9:6 because it debunks any semblance of the Messiah being God in any of the OT writings.
You make a good point. In that one instance, the Septuagint doesn't appear to support the Messiah being God. But as for it debunking any other example...that's an overstatement.
@@diggingupthebible Isaiah 9:6 in the Masoretic text is the only overt example of the Messiah being God. Every other OT verse is like every NT verse when it comes to the Diety of the Messiah topic which are ambiguous and require a “this means” the Messiah is God.
3:41 The original Septuagint was only Genesis to Deuteronomy 72 rabbis were forced to translate into koine Greek.
It is a fast day on Hebrew calendar 10th of Tevet.
The rest of Lxx was compiled by Hellenistic apostates much later and Origen later put together the "Old testament" Christian.
This is very different than the Hebrew scripture.
There are hundreds of variant versions of the Christian bibles none used match the koine Greek new testament or Hebrew sources.
There is only one Orthodox Tankah Hebrew bible in history all match word for word from Yemen to Russia verify that.

@@Nudnik1 What to think about people as far into evilness to the point of corrupting their own scriptures ?
@@KartovOndulevitch As per whom?

Jews maintain our scripture.
That's why there is only one Orthodox Tankah bible in history all match word for word from Yemen to Russia verify that.
The account given at the begining, where Aristeas writes to Philocrati that the Judean governor sent seventy two Jewish rabbis, 6 from each tribe, doesn't square with the history of what happened to the Israelites: among the identifiable tribes at that time, as far as I understand, there were only Judah, Levi, and Benjamin. The northern tribes were exiled by the Assyrians, and though there were northern refugees to the south, so they weren't wiped out, they were assimilated and didn't maintain their tribal affiliations as far as I am aware.
😂😂 I never even thought of that!
And the “tribes “ seems never to be a tribe. It appeared a local people forced into an ideology to that wanted to create a nation. There wasn’t any “tribes”.
The gaslighting in the text tries to do the same to you today: turn you into a sheep.
You are not a sheep!
Theories, just theories. Modern theories made by people who don't know, just try to force their modern understanding onto ancient people.
@@magistradox39 No, he has a point. Listen I’m a Christian but I know from studying the Prophets and the Writings that the 10 tribes were sent into exile by the Assyrian captivity around the 8th century BCE. They became utterly untraceable and absorbed into the surrounding regions of their migrations for the most part. The narrative thus doesn’t make sense to say that 6 from each tribe were taken to write and compile the Greek Septuagint. It most likely was an exaggerated story to enforce credibility and authority of the text given the period and circumstances of the Jewish nation at the time. It has nothing to do with whether the Greek Septuagint was divinely inspired or not. I just found it funny because it is such a simple fact and was right in front of our faces in regard to what the OP pointed out. Often that happens a lot because we are human
The northern tribes being the line of David right? Those were the ones that were assimilated into Babylonian culture. So there really wasn't much lineage left of the northern tribes that wasn't either in Babylon or Egypt,
The age of the pyramids should be no one’s barometer
That is constantly changing
What is important to be mindful is, like the English of today, Greek was the universal language of its time.
this aligns with what we are taught in the Orthodox Church.
Yes, that's true.
The best old testament*
I’ve never heard Septuagint pronounced that way. I imagine if you never heard it pronounced out loud but had to work out a pronunciation in your head this is a good enough guess however peculiar.
I trusted Google, but I guess I shouldn't have.
He pronounces Septuagint but I pronounce it as Septuagint
@@deeveevideossame here 🤷🏽
wmarkfish, Yours is kind of a hollow argument on your part. Here is something else to consider: Cleopatra, the Ptolemys were of Greek descent and looked like Greeks and nothing like the Ethiopians.
The Hebrew language was never completely dead.
The name "Jesus" has existed since the 17th century, and God never revealed this name. Jesus (gee-sus) comes from Iesus (ee-sus, this name is found in the KJV of 1611), and Iesus comes from Iesous (ee-sous). Iesous is a transliteration of the Aramaic name Yeshua. Now consider the testimony of the apostle Peter, "Nor is there salvation in any other, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved” (Acts 4:12). What does this mean? This means that the names of Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous were never revealed by God, but come to us by the tongue of mankind, and therefore, these names, Jesus, Iesus, and Iesous are counterfeit names never revealed by God. Once again, mankind makes void the revelation of God for their traditions.
Then the Pharisees and scribes asked Him, “Why do Your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders...?”
He answered and said to them, “Well did Isaiah prophesy of you hypocrites, as it is written:
‘This people honors Me with their lips,
But their heart is far from Me.
And in vain they worship Me,
Teaching as doctrines the commandments of men.’
For laying aside the commandment of God, you hold the tradition of men..." He said to them, “All too well you reject the commandment of God, that you may keep your tradition" (Mark 7:5-9).
God revealed the name of salvation, but mankind rejected the revealed name, YAHSHUA, for names not revealed but produced by the tongue of man.
Jews are a white ruddy people (Lamentations 4:7; 1 Samuel 16:12; Song of Solomon 5:10).
Ham is the progenitor of the Dark Race (Zondervan Dictionary, 1967).
Esau married women of the Hittites, who are the descendants of Ham, and therefore, Esau had black kids (Genesis 26:34).
Agreed. It is SEP-TUA-JINT. In Latin, the word is Septuaginta.
yeah but Shem had a father and a mother
but Melchizedek had neither
so shem is totally faulty as the non believing jews would take it
of course melchizedek had a mother and father. and this was not his name, its his title: "melek-tzadik". genesis genealogy demonstrates that shem, being "pre-flood" lived into the times of abram, isaac and jacob, as a consequence was very old at the time, perhaps leading to an oral tradition down through the years. i've read somewhere that some suggest he may have lived to the time of solomon. but shem is the most likely "origin" of melchizedek.
@@PrescottJohnson-gfh no Hebrews 7:3 clearly refers to Melchizedek as Divine having no father or mother and without beginning of days nor end of life sorry to burst your bubble
@@biblicaltheologyexegesisan9024 yes... that was an understandable statement... he was... let me check my genealogy chart here...yeah... he was at least 500 years old when he met with abraham. he would have been 4-5x older than your average elderly man at the time. wikipedia has an interesting entry for melchi, everything thing from being born of a virgin, being born after his mother died, fully clothed... and more... probably the most bizarre of all biblical characters, in terms of what people have come to think of him at various times. and no... 3 virgin births is just to much... let alone 1.
@@PrescottJohnson-gfh that is rubbish the Bible does not mention any of those things to Melchizedek in the OT. All you are is a scripture twister. that makes you very dangerous. please repent before you destroy your life.
Melchizedek refers to and is Christ at that time, the very name tell you this.
Brilliant video! thanks so much.
Thanks!
I don't see it this way and here is why. To claim that the Septuagint is "the most dangerous book in the world" is a dramatic statement often used to highlight its significant impact and the controversies surrounding it. However, here are some reasons why this claim is considered an exaggeration:
1. Historical Context: The Septuagint was created in the 3rd and 2nd centuries BCE as a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible for the Jewish community in Alexandria, Egypt. It was intended to make the scriptures accessible to Jews who spoke Greek, not to distort or harm the original texts.
2. Scholarly Value: The Septuagint is a valuable resource for biblical scholars because it provides insights into how the Hebrew texts were understood in ancient times. It also helps in comparing different textual traditions, such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and the Masoretic Text.
3. Religious Significance: While some Jewish traditions view the Septuagint with suspicion, it has been highly influential in Christianity. Many early Christians used the Septuagint, and it is quoted extensively in the New Testament. This shows its importance in the development of Christian theology and its role in bridging Jewish and Christian traditions.
4. Textual Variations: The differences between the Septuagint and the Masoretic Text are often due to variations in translation and interpretation rather than intentional distortions. These variations are common in ancient texts and are studied to understand the evolution of biblical literature.
5. Cultural Impact: The Septuagint played a crucial role in the spread of Jewish and Christian ideas throughout the Hellenistic world. Its translation into Greek made the Hebrew scriptures accessible to a broader audience, contributing to the cultural and religious exchange of the time.
Now the Septuagint has been a subject of debate and controversy, labeling it as "dangerous" overlooks its historical, scholarly, and religious significance. Viewing it as a complex and influential text that has shaped religious thought for centuries is more accurate.
I'm in full agreement with you! Thanks for the comment.
