7. The Septuagint
From the Latin word septuaginta (meaning seventy), is a translation of the Hebrew
Bible and some related texts into Koine Greek. The title and its Roman numeral
acronym LXX refer to the legendary seventy Jewish scholars who completed the translation as
early as the late 2nd century BCE. As the primary Greek translation of the Old Testament, it is
also called the Greek Old Testament. This translation is quoted in the New
Testament, particularly in the Pauline epistles, and also by the Apostolic Fathers and later Greek
Church Fathers.

Apocrypha are statements or claims that are of dubious authenticity. The word's origin is
the medieval Latin adjective apocryphus, "secret, or non-canonical", from
the Greek adjective ἀπόκρυφος(apocryphos), "obscure", from verb ἀποκρφπτειν "to hide away“
