Any Latin translation would have come from Greek.

Certainly if you're talking about the NT. As far as the OT is concerned, I don't think St Jerome (who translated the Vulgate) exclusively translated the LXX. I'm pretty sure he had at least some input on the original Hebrew from rabbis.

I re read my post and I don't see what you are saying. The Septuagint was 300-400 BC and the Vulgate was at least 300 AD. The Vulgate may have come directly from the LXX but that was 600-700 years later than the LXX. The more early translation from Hebrew would be the LXX and Jerome didn't live then. Unless I'm not understanding what you are saying? Latin is a dead language used exclusively in Italy and Greek was common everywhere before Latin was used.

The whole point was Hebrew was Hebrew, used by the God's people up to and through Jesus. Greek was used during and after Jesus's church was formed. If you want accuracy, go to the source. Anything after that is a translation of a translation. It's the same as people looking to the 1611 KJV and saying that's the gold standard of translations. A Hebrew scholar would beg to differ. Most Gentile believers have no clue what Hebrew tradition, culture, and religion was. As an example, Jesus said no one knows the day or the hour he will come. We say, "Well, you can't know." A Jew knows the day no one knows is Rosh Hashanah. Just like an American knows "Turkey day" is Thanksgiving.

1Th 5:1 But concerning the times and the seasons, brethren, you have no need that I should write to you.

1Th 5:2 For you yourselves know perfectly that the day of the Lord so comes as a thief in the night.

The Jews know the Feast days of Leviticus 23, so they know the days. Rosh Hashanah last 2 days because it starts when the new moon is seen and no one knows when that is until it is seen by a priest on the Temple Wall. The High Priest would catch people sleeping on duty and set their clothes on fire and they would shed their clothes while running away and he was called a thief in the night. A Jew knows exactly when the Last Trump is blown. The last blast on "The Feast of Trumpets". The Great Trump is on Atonement. Jesus celebrated Hanukah in John 10 as the feast of Dedication, but never celebrated Christmas or Easter. Jesus never called Sunday the Sabbath and was born on Tabernacles. Today's Christians don't celebrate any of the days of the Lord. The Hebrew calendar is the time schedule for God and Satan confused the calendar in Rome.

Go back to the original to study God's Word. The author of confusion has written the rest.

If you can find a Messianic Jew, He will be closer to the truth than most today. The Bible will start to make more sense. Denominations are "traditions of men".

. I’m pretty sure he had at least some input on the original Hebrew from rabbis.

He was said to have spent considerable time in Israel, i think he knew what he was talking about if any one does.
