What two things happened by copying the Hebrew Bible into Greek?

Answer 1

The entirety of God's Word was now available in the Greek language, which made it widely read, especially among gentiles, thus having a vastly larger audience. Additionally, the Greek language uses more exact terms where the Hebrew uses more comparative phrases. Unless one was fully schooled in Hebrew thought, many meanings of Scripture would have been lost upon the reader. The Greek translators would ascertain these thoughts and use more precise language for the less educated reader to understand.

Jewish perspective:

The misinterpretation of the Scripture began at this point (270 BCE). Our tradition states that the sages were compelled to translate the Tanakh into Greek by Ptolemy Philadelphus; otherwise they would never have considered it. It was considered a sad occasion in Judaism.

The original Hebrew together with the vowels (which are not letters) and the cantillation, contains many levels of wisdom, from simple instruction to deepest mysteries; and almost all of this was lost in translation.

As soon as the text existed in Greek, parvenu neophytes began speaking and writing their own views and interpretations, which for us was disheartening.
