Septuagint: Apostles' Bible

The Greek Old Testament in English — the Old Testament the New Testament writers actually quoted, and the canonical Old Testament of the Eastern Orthodox Church.

Fifty-three books, complete, in Sir Lancelot Brenton's 1851 translation. Nothing is abridged and nothing is missing.

THE APOSTLES' MAP

When a New Testament writer quotes the Old Testament, which text was in front of him? This edition answers that, verse by verse. Every quotation is linked to its source and marked with one of three plain-language badges: Follows the Greek, Follows the Hebrew, or Neither exactly.

Hebrews 10:5 is the clearest case. The Hebrew of Psalm 40:6 reads "mine ears hast thou opened"; the Greek reads "a body hast thou prepared me"; Hebrews quotes the Greek, word for word. The map shows you that, and says so in ordinary words.

"Neither exactly" is an honest and common answer — often the writer was quoting from memory, paraphrasing, or drawing on both. This edition says so rather than pretending to a certainty it does not have.

THE NUMBERING BRIDGE

Your Psalm 23 is Psalm 22 here, and this app never makes you work that out alone. Both numbers appear together, and searching in either numbering finds the psalm. The shift in verse numbers is handled too.

WHAT ELSE IS INSIDE

• Full-text search across the whole canon
• The deuterocanonical books as ordinary members of this canon, not an appendix
• Psalm 151, which the Hebrew Bible does not have
• Bookmarks, highlights and notes — all editable, deletable, and undoable
• Chapters that explain themselves where the Greek moves material elsewhere

Brenton's translation and its Greek text are in the public domain. The tradition badges come from our own measurement of the Greek texts, with a small number of entries decided by hand and marked as such.
