Best Answer

God sovereignly chose to have His Word written in Hebrew (the Old Testament) and Greek (the New Testament). Ptolemy I created the famous Library of Alexandria. As legend has it, he asked the high priest in Jerusalem to loan him about 70 top scholars who would translate the five revered books of Moses into Greek. The result-the first Bible translation-became known as the Septuagint, meaning 70. Over the next hundred years or so, the rest of the Hebrew Bible was added. When New Testament writers later quoted the Old Testament, they quoted it from this Greek translation.
