The Septuagint (This Week in Jewish History) Dr. Henry Abramson
The Septuagint refers to an ancient translation of the Torah into Koine Greek, traditionally believed to have been commissioned during the reign of Ptolemy II Philadelphus in the 3rd century BCE. According to legend, 72 Jewish scholars were invited to Alexandria to translate the Hebrew Scriptures, resulting in a Greek version that became widely used among Hellenistic Jews. This translation played a crucial role in making Jewish religious texts accessible to Greek-speaking populations and significantly influenced the development of early Christian theology.
Dr. Henry Abramson’s Lecture on the Septuagint
Dr. Henry Abramson, a historian specializing in Jewish thought and history, explores the cultural and theological impact of the Septuagint in his lecture series This Week in Jewish History. He highlights how the translation served as a bridge between Jewish tradition and the broader Hellenistic world, while also examining its reception in both Jewish and Christian communities. His analysis includes the legendary account of its creation and its lasting legacy in religious scholarship.

These resources provide viewers with a concise yet informative overview of this pivotal moment in Jewish and biblical history.
How Does The Torah, Talmud, And The Septuagint Relate?
The Torah, Talmud, and Septuagint are foundational texts in Judaism, each serving distinct yet interconnected roles in religious tradition and scholarship.
- The Torah is the foundational text of Judaism, consisting of the first five books of the Hebrew Bible (Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, Deuteronomy). It is considered divinely revealed and forms the core of Jewish law and narrative.
- The Septuagint (LXX) is the ancient Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, traditionally attributed to 72 Jewish scholars in Alexandria around the 3rd–1st centuries BCE. It includes the Torah, Prophets, Writings, and additional texts known as the Apocrypha, which are not part of the Jewish canon but were accepted by early Christians.
- The Talmud is a central text of Rabbinic Judaism, comprising the Mishnah (a written compilation of oral law) and the Gemara (rabbinic commentary and analysis). It develops and interprets Jewish law, ethics, customs, and theology, primarily based on the Hebrew Bible and the Oral Torah.
| Feature | Torah | Septuagint | Talmud |
| Nature | Sacred scripture; divine revelation | Greek translation of Hebrew Bible | Rabbinic legal and theological commentary |
| Language | Hebrew (with Aramaic portions) | Greek (Koine) | Aramaic and Hebrew |
| Content | Five books of Moses (Pentateuch) | Full Hebrew Bible (Tanakh) + Apocrypha | Mishnah + Gemara (Talmudic debates, laws, stories) |
| Historical Period | c. 13th–10th century BCE (traditionally) | 3rd–1st centuries BCE | c. 2nd–5th centuries CE |
| Role in Judaism | Core of Jewish faith and law | Used in Hellenistic Jewish communities; referenced in early Christian writings | Primary source of Jewish law and tradition; guides religious practice |
| Relationship | Source text for both Septuagint and Talmud | Translation of Torah and Tanakh; sometimes reflects variant readings found in Dead Sea Scrolls | Interprets and expands upon Torah; references Septuagint variants in midrashic and aggadic literature |
The Talmud often engages with the Septuagint not as a primary authority, but as a source of alternative readings—such as in the interpretation of Deuteronomy 32:8 or the Decalogue—which appear in midrashim and the Haggadah. These variants suggest that early rabbinic tradition was aware of non-Masoretic texts, including the Septuagint, even if they ultimately upheld the Masoretic Text as authoritative.
What Does The KJV Bible Say?
In his “This Week in Jewish History” lecture, Dr. Henry Abramson examines the Septuagint (LXX), the 3rd-2nd century BCE Greek translation of the Hebrew Torah, noting its immense influence on early Christian theology and its eventual rejection by Rabbinic Judaism. The Septuagint, produced in Alexandria, was originally intended to make the Torah accessible to Greek-speaking Jews.
While the King James Version (KJV) is translated primarily from the Hebrew Masoretic Text, the Septuagint frequently differs, representing an older manuscript tradition or deliberate interpretive choices.
Key Observations by Dr. Henry Abramson
- Origin: Commissioned by King Ptolemy of Egypt, legend dictates 72 scholars (six from each tribe) produced identical translations in separate rooms.
- Theological Shifts: The Septuagint was used heavily by early Christians who often had limited access to Hebrew.
- Example in Isaiah: A major example is Isaiah 7:14, where the Septuagint renders the Hebrew alma (young woman) as parthenos (virgin), a translation that profoundly impacted Christian theology.
- Jewish Rejection: Talmudic tradition notes that sages initially approved the translation but later deemed it a “catastrophe” compared to the original, noting 13 specific alterations made for political or theological reasons.
Comparison Table: Septuagint vs. KJV
The following examples illustrate differences based on the Greek Septuagint (LXX) tradition versus the KJV (Masoretic Text):
| Reference | Septuagint (LXX) Tradition | King James Version (KJV) |
|---|---|---|
| Isaiah 7:14 | “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son…” | “Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a ** молодых (young woman/virgin)** shall conceive, and bear a son…” |
| Psalm 8:5 | “…Thou madest him a little lower than the angels…” | “…Thou hast made him a little lower than the angels [Hebrew: Elohim/God]…” |
| Proverbs 22:8 | Adds: “…and shall fully receive the punishment of his deeds…” | (Does not include this final clause in the same verse) |
| Ezekiel 37 | Omits portions of verses 25 and 26 found in the Hebrew. | Contains the full text in verses 25-26. |
Note: While the KJV generally follows the Masoretic Text, some KJV translators used the Septuagint for the Apocrypha and in various comparisons.
Summary of Differences
Dr. Abramson highlights that the Septuagint is a crucial document for understanding the cultural and religious context of the Second Temple period. However, differences in the Septuagint, particularly in the Book of Job or textual variations, led to its decline in usage within mainstream Rabbinic Judaism in favor of original Hebrew texts.

This is a major important point about forgiveness
Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift. -MATTHEW 5:24 KJV
Are You Your Own Worst Enemy?
I would start out by saying what Jesus Christ would want us to do? Pray and how should we pray? The Lord’s Prayer, and how often should we pray? Continually. Why do we use the Lord’s Prayer and not some other? The Lord’s Prayer covers all the areas that is important for our spiritual being.
When we pray the Lords prayer we ask to forgive our enemies, let God’s will be done, the kingdom to come. By praying the Lord’s prayer we let go of many thoughts we have in our head and give them back to God so we can have things revealed to us.
We must overcome resentment in our heart, and in a past video I shared about Dr. Jordan Peterson talks about how resentment can destroy us and we become our own very worst enemy and Jordan goes on to say that we must talk to people what we have resentment toward to overcome that resentment. Other people who lived in the past who talked about this is Jesus Christ and someone who is living now who talks about this daily is Brother Augustine, Dr. John MacArthur, Dr. Charles Stanley, Rev. John Piper and Pastor Paul Washer.
Women are looking for a fathers love
Women are looking for a fathers love. Its important that men understand women are looking for a fathers love and not get screwed. Woman more than anything are looking for a strong spiritual man to lead the future (the family). I think in many YouTube videos on biblical teachings, how young women are being hurt by men that are just looking to get laid instead of doing right and being in Christ and setting a good example of a strong man. We must be in Christ, hate no one, love all, forgave theses we resent, love what is right and support people who are walking with God.
Women need their fathers in their lives to be strong man to be good examples and not BETA men or weak examples of what a man should be. Its important that a man leads the way as Christ leads men, we as man need to fellow Jesus Christ to keep society from going to HELL.
Every day you can see or people watch how some men and women our living in hell without the right spiritual order then you will continue your hellish way according to 2 Peter. You can also find it in Romans. God will give you over to a reprobate mind.
And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient. – Romans 1:28 (KJV)
In Romans 1, Paul refers to something known as a reprobate mind. If you’re not familiar with the term reprobate, the literal definition in the Greek is failing to pass the test, unapproved, counterfeit.

Spiritual Order – In The Family and Church
God the father
Jesus Christ
Father (Men over women)
Mother (Women over children)
Here is Book, Chapter and Verse from the Kings James Version 1 Corinthian 11:2-16, But the main message is in 1 Corinthian 11:3: “3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.”

How God Commands Us To Forgive Those Who We Have Resentment Toward.
All of us are tested everyday by our personal internal struggle coming from resentment of what happened earlier in our lives as children typically what our mother did to us, telling how our fathers were not good enough or driving us away from our fathers when we were children. We most go to the people that we have resentment against and forgive them. By forgiving our mothers or whoever we have resentment against, God will forgive us and we can return to the heavenly Father through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
It was said if you don’t love everyone then you love no one. People today live like the Old Testament people did. We must forgive and love everyone as God Commanded us to do according to Matthew 22:34-40.
After Reading The Passage I would Recommend Doing A Silent Prayer
Its is said: Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 King James Version (KJV)

In a world where it is so easy to forget the importance of God, we must remember that He is holy and will not share His glory. America has forgotten this truth and it is time for us to re-examine our relationship with God and recognize that He is the one true God who deserves our full devotion and reverence. We must remember that He will not be taken lightly or ignored, but rather should be honored as the Creator of all things. Only then can we truly experience His love and grace in our lives.
