What group contributed to spreading Jewish ideas by translating the Hebrew Bible into Greek?
The Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) has had a vast influence on the Western world, in areas of belief, law, morals, and practices. For the most part, non-Jews didn't read Hebrew. It was through translations that the Tanakh found its way into the wider world. Its Greek translation was the first non-Hebrew text of the Tanakh (c.270 BCE). Since Greek was an international language for centuries, people had ready access to the Tanakh once it was available in Greek.
