Septuagint

The Septuagint (abbreviated as the LXX) is an ancient translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek. It was originally created for Jews living outside of Israel who did not speak Hebrew. It circulated in Palestine in the time of Jesus and many quotes of the Old Testament in the New Testament are from the Septuagint. The early Church adopted the Septuagint as their Holy Scriptures. The Septuagint includes some books that are not in the Hebrew Bible; today these books are consider part of the Apocrypha by Protestant Christians and Deuterocanonical by the Catholic Church.
