Watch this if you consider the LXX or Greek OT primary

[Dizerner]

Please take the time to learn about what exactly the Greek OT is here.

Takeaways:

1. There is not one single uniform Greek OT, there are many multiple separate translations from different times.

2. The earliest complete books are found after 300 CE, before that are only a few sparse fragments.

3. The Dead Sea Scrolls have fragments that support both the Greek and Hebrew streams of text, not just one.

4. A translation into an entirely different language necessarily produces some inaccuracies and paraphrase.

5. The extant Greek OT almost always includes the Apocrypha which only the Catholic and Orthodox today consider inspired.

6. Either Hebrew or Greek can potentially contain the authentic reading, and it is not universal across the board.

Hello,

There is only one true order of books for the Hebrew text and it's the Hebrew canon as showing below. The first Greek translation they only did the Law section below. Later others came through and did the rest which culminated into the Septuagint of today. They literally took the eleven books of the Psalms(Writings) section below and inserted them amongst the Prophets and even added more books too. Their work brought disorder to what God had ordered, typical of men to think they could improve what God has done.

The Hebrew was shared verbally long before it was written and it's done according to thoughts, Hebrew thought writing is done for ease of memorization and to pass on to your family and loved ones. We now can see in the subject structure outlines below of the Hebrew canon how they are arranged according to thoughts, ideas, subjects and subject matter enabling the sense to be seen and understood.






No man writes like this above and to the depth and magnitude of the biblical texts! The above were mostly written not in chronological order, through many different people from many different walks of life. They were written and assembled according to Hebrew thought writing(first shared verbally/orally amongst each other) and according to the mind of YHVH to which nothing written by mankind in any language even comes close in comparison.

Blessings,
Love Fountain

Notice the alignment in our oldest manuscripts here.

Almost half agree with the MT and only 5% with the LXX.

1,000 years before the MT we have and 500 years before the earliest LXX.

No complaints here, just thoughts.
Can you explain more what these mean? The DSS lack many books of the present Protestant version of the OT. These percentages then are mostly to fragments of books found. The 45% non-aligned is also significant.
From the video, it is interesting that Goliath was designated with a taller size in the Masoretic, as if the shorter size should not have been seen as a threat.
