Ok, NAB with Greek. Thanks

I have an NAB and as I noted that was done with ecumenical goals, which is great. As long as people avoid polemics with me I respond in kind.

Rev 8:2 speaks of 7 angels. The Cross reference is Tobit 12:15 where there are 7 Angels clearly described in that book.

Luke 6:31 has the golden rule. This is clearly drawing on Tobit 4:15 which reads “And what you hate, do not do to anyone”

Hebrews 11:35 has the passage “some were tortured refusing to accept release that they might rise again to a better life. This is drawing on 2 Maccabees 7 where the Mother bore the killing of her sons telling them God will give them life and breath again [resurrection].

I mentioned John 10:22.

During the Roman empire at time of Christ, the number of Jews outside Palestine dwarfed those in Palestine. These Jews [Diaspora] spoke Greek thus Hellenistic Jews. The version of the OT that the Apostles used was not the Hebrew, but the Greek [LXX} as 80% or more of the quotes from OT come from the LXX, not Hebrew translation.

The LXX had the 7 Deuterocanonical books and thus the Apostles it, based on the evidence, did draw on those Dueterocanonicals and made reference to them.
