He did ? When ?
Do you ANYTHING about how Jewish Scholars assembled and codified the Masoretic text
BTW, it's not a translation...
You really should stop asking asinine questions...
As well, various textual critics and OT professors describe Jerome's work as both a translation and a Version - and I have used both words in reference to these.
The Masoretic Text, excuse me, was a transmission of a tradition and should just be referred to simply as a text.
The Vulgate is a translation, but yet it is also referred to as a Version as is the Septuagint and the Samaritan Pentateuch.
You really should start asking more questions. There is nothing wrong with this, and this thread sadly has been foisted into a circuitous route because certain questions are being purposefully avoided and deflecting to other issues.
Jerome was either divinely inspired or he wasn't. He either had the same inspiration as those who were moved upon by the Holy Spirit to write the various books of the OT and NT, or he didn't. While Original texts and Original Manuscripts were divinely inspired because the Holy Spirit was the Inspirer of those who were inspired and wrote the OT and NT scriptures, the same cannot be said of the compiling of Codex's or their compilers (S (Sinaiticus), B (Vaticanus) and A (Alexandrinus) or translated Versions (the Vulgate or the Septuagint).
