During the Ptolemaic period, the Septuagint was produced, which is a Greek translation of the Hebrew Scriptures. Commissioned in the 3rd century BCE for the Jewish community in Egypt, it made the Hebrew texts accessible to Greek-speaking Jews and later to early Christians. The name "Septuagint," derived from the Latin word for "seventy," reflects the tradition that seventy scholars worked on the translation. This translation played a crucial role in the transmission of biblical texts and the development of early Christian thought.
