The global distribution of the Septuagint was the engine that spawned the birth of Synagogues as a part of God's eternal plan to create a bridge between temple worship and the Christian Church. Introduction: 1. Although Ptolemy II wanted the Jewish scriptures translated into Greek in 282 BC for his father's (Ptolemy I) famous Library of Alexandra, the local Jews quickly made copies and started to gather to read the "Bible for themselves" and of course pray. The very first synagogue in the world was started when a small group of very excited Jews agreed to gather together in someone's home to pray and read the Greek Tanakh, which at this point consisted only of the first five books of Moses. The first and oldest word for a synagogue is the Greek word, "proseuche" and it means "house of prayer". The first synagogues were in "houses" (ie. HOUSE of prayer).

Conclusion Ezra's Quattuordecim (XIV) Autograph manuscript of Hebrew pre-Masoretic text 458-445 BC Preamble: Notice that Ezra the priest is called, "the scribe of the law of the God" (Ezra 7:12) which is a direct confirmation that Ezra was involved in the process of copying and transmitting scripture. The Quattuordecim (XIV) is the autograph copy of the Hebrew proto-Masoretic script from which the Septuagint and most of the Dead Sea Scrolls have their origin. The Quattuordecim was a conversion/translation of the Paleo-Hebrew Bible manuscripts into Aramaic "Square" Hebrew by 14 men starting in 458 BC until the official unveiling at a public reading on New years day 1 Nisan 445 BC.

It was important to the Jews who just suffered their second major defeat in the second Jewish war of 135 AD that Shem as Melchizedek, conferred priesthood to Abraham. But it was all a fiction created by the Jews in living in Zippori in 160 AD as an anti-Christian revision to counter the idea that Jesus was the messianic type of Melchizedek in the book of Hebrews.

At the time of Christ, Jewish messianic expectation was of the arrival of Melchizedek as a "heavenly being" not Shem as witnessed in the Dead Sea Scrolls dating to 90 BC in 11QMelchizedek.

"For from Adam to the deluge there are reckoned, according to our copies of Scripture [Septuagint], 2262 years, and according to the Hebrew text, 1656 years." (Constantine, Aug., De civ. Dei 15.20.2) Introduction: 1. Augustine was a theological Jellyfish with poor logical skills who felt at ease in teaching things that directly contradicted the Bible. a. Augustine is a good example of "just because you write a lot of stuff doesn't mean you have any idea what you are talking about". Kind of like the internet today! b. Augustine is known for a lot of strange theology and ideas in his many writings since he is considered the father of 16th century Calvinism. c.

He is confidently identified as the Eupolemus who was a member of the priestly family Accos and sent as an ambassador to Rome by Judas Maccabeus (1 Macc 8:17; 2 Macc 4:11; Josephus JW 12.10.6 §415-16)."

| 97: | The Book of Jubilees: A fictional Jewish chronology of real world ... Dan 9:24 which equals exactly 10 jubilees or 490 years. This meant that annual festivals would fall on the same day of the week each year but never on a Sabbath. While the first century Jews were familiar with the Jubilee calendar, they used a 365 day calendar as seen in the fact that the year Jesus was crucified (33 AD) was a "high sabbath" where the annual and weekly sabbaths coincide. 2. Jacob enters Egypt: Converting Jubilees to days: The trick it to remember it is inclusive. So the date Jacob enters into Egypt is stated to be "on the first of the fourth month in the second year of the third week of the forty-fifth jubilee." (Jubilees 45:1). This is computed by adding the incremental sums: In the 45th Jubilee = 44 complete jubilees (not 45). In the third week = 2x7=14 days (not 21). Second year = 2 years. ([44 jubilees x 49 years] + 14 + 2) = 2172 AC. Most dates are computed this way. 3.

Jacob enters Egypt with 70 or 75 persons: Gen. 46:27; Ex 1:5; Deut 10:22; Acts 7:14 Textual Variants in the Bible Bible textual variants analysed Introduction: Did Jacob enter Egypt with 70 or 75 persons? When Christian looks up these four passages (Gen 46:27; Ex 1:5; Deut 10:22; Acts 7:14) in the top five modern English translations (NASB, KJV, NIV etc.) there appears to be a contradiction between the Old Testament where all passages read 70 persons and the New Testament where Stephen said the number was 75 persons who entered Egypt with Jacob in 1876 BC. Bible trashers throw an ill planned and premature party because the Septuagint records 75 persons in two places in the Torah. This gloss is complex and simple at the same time. Gen 46:27 and Ex 1:5 are both variant between the MT and the LXX where one says 70 and the other 75. A third verse, Duet 10:22 reads 70 in both the MT and LXX. Finally Acts 7:14 says the number was 75 persons who entered Egypt.
