The Septuagint with Apocrypha in English

The Sir Lancelot C. L. Brenton 1851 Translation

De: Joseph B. Lumpkin

Narrado por: Mel Jackson

The Septuagint (or "LXX" ) is the Greek version of the Old Testament. It is a translation of the Hebrew Old Testament and certain Apocryphal books, which was written in the late third century BC by the order of Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the king of Ptolemaic Egypt (283 BC to 246 BC). Alexander the Great had spread Greek influence and language throughout "the known world" and the Jews of the area were losing their Jewish roots and tongue. This Greek translation was created for use by the Alexandrian Jews who were fluent in Koine Greek, but were no longer fluent in Hebrew.

The Septuagint is quoted in the New Testament by the Apostolic Fathers. The influence of the Septuagint on Christianity cannot be denied and should be studied by students of the Bible and religion. This translation of the Septuagint was written by Sir Lancelot C. L. Brenton and published in 1851. It was based on the Codex Vaticanus, one of the oldest surviving manuscripts of the Greek Bible. This version of The Septuagint is used by scholars and students of scripture, religion, as well, and Old and New Testament history.

Best for understanding the bible properly

Essential for understanding biblical prophecy. A definite reason for changing the words. to confuse

This is a religious text, not 50 Shades of Grey

This narrator is fine. His voice is fine. His delivery is fine. The recording quality is fine. Anyone stating otherwise has not considered the nature of this work. It is not a serial dramatization. Go watch Netflix. This is a religious text. Treat it as such. Act accordingly. Thou shall not judge. Walk your talk.

A little Amateurish

The work is serious and respectable considering the other titles the publisher and narrator have produced. The narrator is idiosyncratic, which in a way allows the text to remain a text, that is, the narrator is not interpreting the words through emotional intonation. BUT, the book might have benefited from a good emotional interpreting and for the love of all things Holy the narrator says “exscape”. This should never have been allowed by the publisher. The reader should have been made to learn how to pronounce “escape”. I found myself waiting with anxiety for the next person to exscape capture.
