Gibberish!

You fall into the same trap of ignorance that all who rely on the absurd assumption that the Greek ms were original.

All of God’s word was given in Hebrew, and Hebrew simply does not translate to Greek without confusion. The LXX is solid proof of that. It was translated to Greek by Hebrew sages who tried to put Hebrew thought into the Greek language, but only a handful of Greek speaking Hebrews in Alexandria could understand it. Separate the LXX from the Hebrew culture and it is gibberish.

Torah is life instruction, required to live a healthy, scriptural life in any age. It is based in Love, just as Yeshua declared.

The New Testament was written in Greek originally. Not Hebrew nor Aramaic. No evidence exists to claim otherwise. The Septuagint has nothing to do with that fact. If God inspired “nomos” in the NT to be cognate with “torah”, then the meaning is clear.

So how about the 1985 JPS Tanakh in Vayikra (Leviticus) 7 translating “torah” as “ritual”, then?
