The LXX is not the word of God!

I offer the opinion of the King James translators ...

From the original 1611 Preface ...

The translation of the Seventie dissenteth from the Originall in many places, neither doeth it come neere it, for perspicuitie, gratvitie, majestie; yet which of the Apostles did condemne it? Condemne it? Nay, they used it, (as it is apparent, and as Saint Jerome and most learned men doe confesse) which they would not have done, nor by their example of using it, so grace and commend it to the Church, if it had bene unworthy the appellation and name of the word of God.

So the freemasons that translated the KJV impress you as authorities? Even after noting that the LXX didn’t even come close to the word?
