Her work deals with continuous search to find peace in chaos. Releasing her emotions into work connects realism and abstractionism through the lens of subconsciousness to achieve superconsciousness. At sixteen she left home for the last time to start an artistic career and two years later moved to the Netherlands. This developed into a strong spatial visualisation ability which helped her to become the youngest student in a local Art School. Escaping from reality to the imaginary world assisted her to deal with anxiety. She had a tough childhood with abusive parents and made the first attempt to run from home when she was 7. However, they are interesting to read should you want to know what the Orthodox Church teaches or believes.Van Lanigh is an artist based in the Netherlands. It also contains Orthodox commentary on Bible passages in the study notes I ignore this. This is an Orthodox Church production, so I had to cut out the creepy pictures of Mary. Athanasius Academy, which includes an NKJV of the New Testament in one binding. The LXX English translation I use is the Orthodox Study Edition compiled by St. When doing in-depth Bible studies always look up the original word and seek to understand the context of the passage. This is an example of the advantage of having an LXX on hand to compare scriptures. Some sceptics argued that the Hebrew word for virgin in Isaiah 7:11-14 should translate as “young woman”, but Greek has the advantage of being super precise and in the LXX virgin is clearly the word used. The book of Daniel also contains an epic battle against a dragon and a Sherlock Holmes type of investigation around a mysterial Idol called Bel that consumes food! Get An LXX The LXX also includes the Apocrypha (non-inspired books of history) which is good to have on hand (The KJV originally included it too). 1 & 2 Chronicles = 1 & 2 Paraleipomenon.There are also differences in indexing with regards to the books of Jeremiah and Malachi.Īlso, be aware of the following differences in book names: For example, Psalm 50 in the LXX is Psalm 51 in other Bibles. The Psalms in the Septuagint have a different numbering system of chapters and verses. You have to be particularly careful when cross-referencing the Psalms in the Septuagint with other translations. When searching for a scripture, tap the “tools” button next to the verse to pull up the Greek. I would recommend the Blue Letter Bible for doing this. When digging deep into the scriptures, always compare various translations and look into the original languages. God has promised to preserve His word (Psalm 100:5), and the meaning is apparent in all translations. Now, none of these minor discrepancies is going to break your theology. It is important to note that most modern Bibles have footnotes demonstrating the small variances between the Dead Sea Scrolls, Septuagint and the Masoretic Texts, among others. Yes, The Apostles themselves read and taught from the LXX. The New Testament writers are quoting the Septuagint. The reason for the discrepancies is because modern Bible translations use the Masoretic Texts (A post-Christ Hebrew translation of the O.T.) as the main bases of their translations. Notice how “But if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him.” is omitted. Compare these verses in a modern Bible translation ( NIV, ESV, NKJV, etc.) as an example: Have you ever read a quotation of an Old Testament scripture in the New Testament, only to go back and see that it is not the same? Good Enough For The Apostles, Good Enough For Me The Septuagint (LXX) is a Greek translation of the Old Testament, and here are some reasons why you need one in your library. This translation of the scriptures is also known as the LXX, which is the Roman numeral for, you guessed it, 70. Seventy scholars (Some sources say 72) undertook this feat which resulted in the Septuagint translation. Hebrew fell out of use among the Jews, so to read the scriptures in a relevant language, Ptolemy II Philadelphus, the son of Alexander the Great’s Macedonian-Greek general Ptolemy I Soter, commissioned the translation of the Hebrew scriptures into Greek. With the rise of Alexander the Great (336 to 323 B.C.), the Greek language became the common language.
