The Greek Septuagint was the only Old Testament of the first century. When Jesus referred to the scriptures, He spoke of the Greek Septuagint. It was the Bible of the Apostles and the Nation of religious Jews. The Hebrew Bible did not exist at that time. After 70 AD, the Pharisees, Scribes and Essenes were destroyed along with the city and Jewish second temple. The surviving Rabbis were concerned about the Old Testament references that the Christians used. They seemed to clearly establish that Jesus was the expected Messiah. However, as the Rabbis created their Hebrew Bible, they changed some spelling in the Greek Septuagint about the Messiah. They made it refer to a return of David, not the first century Jesus. Even today, they say that David is living among them... somewhere in secret. To them, the first century Bible, the Septuagint looked and sounded too much like a Christian Bible. Therefore, 500 years afterwards, they decided that it must be changed to what they believed traditionally. So, the traditionalist or Massoretic redactors of the new Rabbinic Judaism slightly changed the spelling of some scriptures that were prophetic, concerning Jesus. Then they were particularly careful how they copied the corrected Hebrew text.
The Hebrew Old Testament Scriptures offered by "Light for Israel" gives us the creation of what they called the Second Great Rabbinic Bible, or the Ben Chayyim Massoretic text. |
