Hi Everyone,

 

 

I am busy studying Romans and Paul quotes a lot from the LXX. The English translations of the Hebrew OT can be be quite different.

 

Is there at least one bible module that has the Greek OT (any version) in English so I can perform searches etc on it and also read to see that it is correct with the Romans English translation.

 

Much appreciated any feedback.

 

I have PDF English versions of the LXX.

While my translation use mostly the Hebrew OT are the quotes harmonized on the LXX translations and NT interpretations.

I marked word with red if they follow or render the NT interpretation and added cross references.

If you search with Regular Expressions (REXGEX) and type <red>

Can you see all the verses with the marked words.

 

For example "top of his staff" or "head of his bed" in Gen 47:31 that is quoted in Heb 11:21 are the same words in Hebrew but the vowel points change the interpretation.

"head" and "top" is the same word in Hebrew.

mittah=bed H4296

matteh=staff H4294

The only difference are the vowels in Hebrew that are added for the interpretation.

So I follow here the NT and LXX interpretation.

In addition to the Bible modules previously mentioned, you could also check out the ABP+ (Apostolic Bible Polyglot with Strong's numbers) that is also available within the e-Sword module downloader, if being interrupted by Strong's numbers (and Charles Van der Pool's extended Strong's numbers) is not going to be an issue for you.

The question you raise is valid.

To make such a correlation, first you need to go back to the greek nt. Then you need the lxx that matches the lxx the Apostles used. This may not exist.

While later, the Oregons hexepla correlated several greek new Testament that existed at that time. Just as we have numerous English Bible translations that exist today

While closer to the source there may have been more than one greek ot at the time of jesus.

We are fortunate that the ot is preserved through the masoretic text and septugant helping us understand it from that time. But we may not have a word for word match septuagant in all cases

In 1808, Charles Thomson's English translation of the Old Testament from the Septuagint was published.  Charles Thomson did not include the Apocrypha in his translation. He also translated the New Testament.  Bible modules of this work are available here at:
