"More importantly, they were in the Septuagint, which was the Hebrew scripture in common use at the time of Christ."

Slight correction; the Septuagint was the Greek translation of the Old Testament, not the Hebrew. It should be noted that it was the Scripture read by the vast majority of the world's first century Jews, most of whom lived outside Israel.

As a side note it was this Scripture that St. Paul referenced when preaching the Gospel to both the Jews and the Gentiles in Asia minor, Greece and Italy. So when the Bereans searched Scripture it was the Septuagint they searched.

Peace be with you

Sorry, should have said Jewish scripture - thinking probably of "Where, where are the Hebrew children"? Hate typing on an iPad!

I really like the LXX because I can't get past the aleph-beis, but I do read Greek.
