LXX in Bible commentary refers to the "Septuagint Commentary" which is the oldest Greek version of the Old Testament. It is said to have been translated from the Hebrew by Jewish scholars in 3 or 2 BCE. It was translated to meet the needs of Greek-speaking Jews who lived outside of Palestine.

Some say that it has to do with the number seventy because it is thought that there were seventy translators who supposedly worked for 70 days. (Don't quote me on that last part!)

LXX is the Latin number for 70. This number is often used as an abbreviation for the Septuagint, an early translation of the Hebrew scriptures. It was said that seventy scholars took part in the translation.
