A:
The Septuagint ('LXX') is an early Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, that came into widespread use in the Greek-speaking Jewish diaspora by the time of Jesus. It differs in numerous places from the Hebrew scriptures that have come down to us as the Masoretic texts, and most of the differences are attributed to faulty translation. It is important because the New Testament was written in Greek, andall the authors - even Paul - relied on the Septuagint when reading the Old Testament. Errors in the Septuagint are therefore reflected in the New Testament.
