Swete Septuagint

Interlinear

This recension of the Greek Septuagint (LXX) by Henry Barclay Swete is our primary source text for the Jewish Books (Old Testament) in our translation. The Greek Septuagint is a Koine (Ancient Greek) translation produced between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC. It later suffered some ‘correction’ in the 3rd century AD by Origen. While the Greek text does have some silly (easily fixed) errors, we are convinced that it is like a lifeboat, preserving the Biblical text from corruptions that occured to the Hebrew text.
