The Greek Old Testament, or Septuagint (/ˈsɛptjuədʒɪnt/, US also /sɛpˈtjuːədʒɪnt/; from the Latin: septuaginta, lit. 'seventy'; often abbreviated 70; in Roman numerals, LXX), is the earliest extant Greek translation of books from the Hebrew Bible. It includes several books beyond those contained in the Masoretic text of the Hebrew Bible as canonically used in the tradition of mainstream Rabbinical Judaism. The additional books were composed in Greek, Hebrew, or Aramaic, but in most cases, only the Greek version has survived to the present. It is the oldest and most important complete translation of the Hebrew Bible made by the Jews. Some targums translating or paraphrasing the Bible into Aramaic were also made around the same time. | The Greek Old Testament, or Septuagint (/ˈsɛptjuədʒɪnt/, US also /sɛpˈtjuːədʒɪnt/; from the Latin: septuaginta, lit.
