septuagint

But the Peshitta is 300 years after the Septuagint and the verse you mention was written in Greek in a gospel, not the Hebrew Bible.

Likewise, it's translated as a generic fruit in the Vulgate (Latin - 'fructus') and Septuagint (Greek - 'karpos').

Neither does the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, produced for use by Greek-speaking Jews a few hundred years before Christ).

I just looked in the Septuagint and (I guess unsurprisingly) it uses ἡμέρα μία, ἡμέρα δευτέρα, ἡμέρα τρίτη.

The age of the earth, according to a reasonable interpretation of the Old Testament, is likely to be 6000 (Masoretic text) to 8500 years (if you rely on the Septuagint versions).

Another is to use earlier translations (such as the Septuagint from Hebrew to Greek in the first or second centuries BCE), when the translators likely had a better sense of what the words meant.

The ages of the patriarchs are almost certainly some sort of Hebraic numerology that has been lost to history and may have been influenced by different traditions (the ages in the Septuagint differ, for example).

One major division is stems from Old Testament versions; Roman Catholic Bibles are all derived from the Septuagint version (3rd Century BC translation of original Hebrew scriptures into Koine Greek) of the Old Testament, whereas Protestant Bibles returned to the original Hebrew texts.

I remember as an undergrad being stumped by a word in the Septuagint that I could not make any sense of and now I imagine I can search on the inflected form on wiktionary and know exactly where I went wrong.

Whoever wrote "Mark" made up things for his Jesus to say based on Paul's opinions, cribbing plot elements liberally from the Septuagint and from Homer.

From your link: > Famously, the "leprosy" of most translations of the Bible as far back as the Septuagint represents a multilayered historical process of confusion.

Agios- direct transliteration from the Greek "'άγιος" which is the exact term used in Isaiah 6:3 in the popular Greek translation of the Old Testament, the Septuagint.

The term "apocrypha" is one only used by Protestants, as a pejorative term for the books Luther excised from the Septuagint, the Old Testament used by Jesus and the Apostles.

After examination he realized that they were part of the Septuagint, written in an early Greek uncial script.

He retrieved from the basket 129 leaves in Greek which he identified as coming from a manuscript of the Septuagint.

In defense of the Septuagint, there are several places where the Dead Sea Scrolls agree with it against the Masoretic Text.
