The Septuagint — Timelines and Other Alterations

Hosts Corey J. Mahler coreyjmahler.com @CoreyJMahler Woe aka Eschatologuy @treblewoe The rabbis made a number of different kinds of edits to their version of what some call ‘Scripture’ (i.e., the Rabbinic or Masoretic Text). In some places, they fiddled with numbers, in some they changed names, and in still others they deleted entire sections of the text. In this final episode of the Old Testament portion of the Septuagint series, we examine the changes the rabbis made to the timelines (particularly the genealogies), the Book of Job, the Book of Esther, and a few other miscellaneous matters. The next two episodes will round out the LXX series with an examination of how the New Testament uses the Old (to the surprise of none, Jesus and the Apostles used the Septuagint), and then the final episode in the series will give a roadmap for where we, as the Church, go from here.
