===Apocrypha===
Line 232 ⟶ 298:
[[:File:The_Complete_Book_of_Enoch,_Standard_English_Version_-_Jay_Winter.pdf|Enoch]] was first welcomed by the Christian Church but was eventually removed from the canon of Scripture. Its survival is a result of the syncretic merging of Iranian, Greek, Chaldean, and Egyptian components’ attraction to fringe and heretical Christian organizations like the Manichaeans.
The [[:File:The_Complete_Book_of_Enoch,_Standard_English_Version_-_Jay_Winter.pdf|Book of Enoch]] contains several sections, including a portion called the Book of the Watchers. Here, the author details Enoch's vision of heaven and the fall of a subsect of angels who would go on to interbreed with human beings, creating a race called the Nephilim: supernatural, man-eating, cannibalistic, vampiric giants. Other additions included the angel Azazel teaching humans how to make swords, God's orders to have the rebelling angels bound and imprisoned, and
Early theologians branded some of Enoch's ideas as heretical. According to the Encyclopedia Britannica, of particular concern were prophecies involving the birth of a messiah, which didn't sit well with the Jewish community.
Line 326 ⟶ 392:
It is not known to exist at this time as one published compilation. Some books, though considered canonical, are nonetheless difficult to locate and are not even widely available in the churches' home countries of Ethiopia and Eritrea.

===Septuagint===
[[:File:Septuagint.pdf|The Septuagint]], sometimes referred to as the Greek Old Testament or The Translation of the Seventy, is the earliest extant Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible from the original Hebrew. The full Greek title derives from the story recorded in the Letter of Aristeas to Philocrates that "the laws of the Jews" were translated into the Greek language at the request of Ptolemy II Philadelphus (285–247 BCE) by seventy-two Hebrew translators—six from each of the Twelve Tribes of Israel.
Biblical scholars agree that the first five books of the Hebrew Bible were translated from Biblical Hebrew into Koine Greek by Jews living in the Ptolemaic Kingdom, probably in the early or middle part of the third century BCE. The remaining books were presumably translated in the 2nd century BCE. Some targums translating or paraphrasing the Bible into Aramaic were also made during the Second Temple period.
Few people could speak and even fewer could read in the Hebrew language during the Second Temple period; Koine Greek and Aramaic were the most widely spoken languages at that time among the Jewish community. The Septuagint therefore satisfied a need in the Jewish community.
