The Septuagint was produced around the 3rd to 2nd century BCE in Alexandria, Egypt. It was a Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible, primarily commissioned for the Greek-speaking Jewish community. According to tradition, 70 or 72 Jewish scholars were involved in the translation process, hence its name "Septuagint" meaning "seventy" in Latin.
