The different Biblical canons.

It is estimated that the first five books of the Hebrew Bible, known as the Torah or Pentateuch, were translated in the mid-3rd century BCE and the remaining texts were translated in the 2nd century BCE. The Septuagint was the Koine Greek translation of the Hebrew Old Testament and was in wide use by the time of Jesus and Paul of Tarsus because most Jews could no longer read Hebrew. For this reason it is quoted more often than the Hebrew Old Testament in the New Testament, particularly in the Pauline epistles, by the Apostolic Fathers, and later by the Greek Church Fathers... -- Septuagint - Wikipedia


It is estimated because they have nothing to prove it. It is estimated because that is what they want it to be. Thus the fraudulent story of the Septuigint was created. There was no Septuagint before the time of Christ, and there never has been any Septuagint. All you have are Origen's Hexapla, dated 2nd century A.D. and the oldest manuscripts dated 4th century A.D.

All is A.D. The whole idea of a Septuagint B.C., is a dream and a lie.

Not exactly: Septuagint - Wikipedia

Seventy-two Jewish scholars were asked by the Greek King of Egypt Ptolemy II Philadelphus to translate the Torah from Biblical Hebrew into Greek for inclusion in the Library of Alexandria.[11]

This narrative is found in the pseudepigraphic Letter of Aristeas to his brother Philocrates[12] and is repeated by Philo of Alexandria, Josephus in Antiquities of the Jews,[13] and by various later sources including St. Augustine.[14] The story is also found in the Tractate Megillah of the Babylonian Talmud:​

'King Ptolemy once gathered 72 Elders. He placed them in 72 chambers, each of them in a separate one, without revealing to them why they were summoned. He entered each one's room and said: "Write for me the Torah of Moshe, your teacher". God put it in the heart of each one to translate identically as all the others did' - Babylonian Talmud, Tractate Megillah 9a​

Yes, but what does 'Wikipedia' know. The 'story' can be found anywhere. I have already said that the Letter to Aristeas is a fraud and has been proven to be so.

Even the 72 elders speak to its lie. Septuagint speaks to 70. Yet there were supposedly 72 elders. Can't even get the lie right.

So, yes, exactly.

I guess you're just gonna believe in what you want to believe, but that's not how good biblical scholarship works.

Therefore, this post is a one-and-out.

You have forgotten that the Jewish canon does not include the Christian scriptures (NT). It is simply the Tanakh (Torah, Prophets, Writings). Basically that is identical to what Protestants have in their "Old Testament," although we find it offensive to call it such, since there is nothing old about it.
