The Septuagint, a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures, was produced primarily in the 3rd to 2nd centuries BCE, well after the Babylonian Exile (586-537 BCE). Its creation was influenced by the Jewish diaspora, particularly in Egypt, where many Jews spoke Greek and sought access to their religious texts. While the Exile itself did not directly cause the Septuagint's production, the circumstances and cultural shifts resulting from the Exile contributed to the need for such a translation. Thus, it reflects the broader context of Jewish identity and adaptation in a Hellenistic world rather than being a direct product of the Exile.
