The LXX was injected when the NT writings were translated into Greek, and was done specifically because the Greek translators were not in any way competent in Hebrew language, nor culture, so they punted and substituted the LXX for the actual scriptures.

While Matthew was most likely originally written in Hebrew or Aramaic, the rest of the New Testament was clearly written in Greek. Thus the citations of the Old Testament given in them were indeed given from the Septuagint.

This is solidly proven in the Hebrew mss of Matthew where the actual words of Yeshua are recorded by Matthew who was a true witness.

Now who do you think you are trying to fool. There are no original Hebrew manuscripts of Matthew.

Utter gibberish!

The entire new testament is riddled with clumsy translation errors caused by the total lack of understanding of the Hebrew and aramaic languages, and the Hebrew culture, by the the greek translators. there is not one book that doesn't contain these Hebrew related errors.

Ugly strawman! - That is not what I said.

All of the NT was ORIGINALLY written in Hebrew, or the the mistranslations of Hebrew would not be present in them.

There are passages in every book that are complete nonsequiturs, making no sense at all, because of these misunderstandings of Hebrew colloquialisms, and culturally centered figures of speech.
