It says that the Christian text of the Old Testament was a translation, re-invention and re-arrangement of the Hebrew Bible, done by the early church. The 3 parts of the Hebrew Bible demonstrate the original order of the books; and the Hebrew text itself gives the original, accurate wording, meaning and context, together with the vowels, "full" or "abbreviated" spellings, cantillation notes and more. All of these provide a fuller understanding of the text, much of which is lost in translation.
