Excerpt from Studies in the Septuagint: The Poetical Books The Septuagint is an invaluable commentary on the Hebrew text of the Old Testament. In not a few instances it gives a more correct rendering of the Hebrew text than either the Authorized or the Revised Version of the English Bible. The present writer has devoted much of his leisure time to the comparison of the Septuagint with the Hebrew Textus Receptus (T.R.), or Massoretic Text (M.T.), and as far as he has gone has carefully marked every passage in which the texts differ. These differences vary in the several books. In the Pentateuch the Septuagint follows very closely the M.T. In other books the Septuagint introduces texts wanting in the M.T., or omits texts found in the M.T., e.g. I Sam. (LXX. I Kings) xvii.12-31. The arrangement in certain books differs very materially, e.g. Ex. xxxvi.-xl., and many of the prophecies of Jeremiah.
