The ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, completed around 200 BC — the version most New Testament writers quoted from
Often abbreviated LXX (for the legendary 70 translators). When Paul or the Gospel writers quote the Old Testament, they're usually quoting the Septuagint, not the original Hebrew. This matters because the Greek wording sometimes differs from the Hebrew, and those differences occasionally affect how New Testament authors make their arguments. The Septuagint also included books (like Wisdom of Solomon and Sirach) that Protestants later classified as Apocrypha.
