120.3 The Septuagint: A Corruption or the Original Text

Transcript URL: https://share.descript.com/view/ahzMpx5Oq3m

Welcome to the third episode of the Septuagint series on History of the Papacy podcast. We are joined by Garry Stevens host of The History in the Bible Podcast (historyinthebible.net). In this episode, we'll be exploring the intricacies of translation and the role of different languages in the process. As we know, the Septuagint is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, which was done around the 3rd century BCE. The story goes that 72 Jewish scholars were tasked with translating the Torah into Greek, and miraculously, all of their translations were identical. But why did the Jews even need a Greek translation of their holy texts? The answer lies in the historical context of the time. After the conquests of Alexander the Great, Greek became the lingua franca of the eastern Mediterranean, and many Jews who lived outside of Judea found themselves more comfortable speaking Greek than Hebrew. Furthermore, the Greek language had a particular richness and flexibility that allowed for better expression of certain Jewish concepts. Overall, the Septuagint is a testament to the power of translation and the way that language can shape our understanding of the world. In the next episode of our series, we'll explore the impact that the Septuagint had on early Christian theology. Thanks for listening!
