Best Answer

The Pentateuch was first translated into Greek in Alexandria around 250BCE. This translation became known as Septuagint, the only version of the Old Testament used by Christians until the 4th century. New translations into Greek and Aramaic were prepared by two converts to Judaism, under the direction of the Jewish academy at Jamnia. Only fragments of the Greek translation remain, but the other has remained the standard Aramaic translation. The Latin Vulgate was translated from the Greek, as were the early Protestant Bibles.
