Basically the maccabean revolt

Like a Jewish 300

I believe those silly 😉 catholic books are worth reading. Not necessarily for scripture, but still worth a read.

And they are at least historical to my understanding.

Just to be fair the Orthodox have an even larger canon

It's been a while since I've read about it but for historical inaccuracies Maccabees was excluded from the bible.

Luther threw it out because the oldest known copy at the time wasn't in Hebrew

Dead sea scrolls included an older copy in Hebrew though

I was really surprised to see how Luther sort of hated Jews lol

Was all pissed they didn't convert to Protestantism

He's basically the great grandfather of the Nazis

Originally he also tossed revelation

oh wow

Well Luther wasn't in charge of the bible. It was pieced together in Constantinople.

Initially anyway

The first "Protestant Bibles" had all the same books as us but moved them to another section

Including revelation

What was his issue with Revelations?

Said it was fake and uninspired

Said the same for Peter but didn't toss them

Did he have a problem with Hebrews not written in Hebrew?😂

Ultimately we Catholics based our Canon on the Septuagint while Protestants based theirs on the Hebrew book, I forget the name

Tanakh?

Yeah that's it

Tanakh is the Hebrew Bible, or Old Testament.

תנ"ך

interesting

Septuagint is the Greek translation

Translated by 72 Jewish scholars I think

I'm familiar with that. The 70 people that translated and compiled the Bible.

Sept = 7, is how I remember it.

I know the Jews are not playing around about translation and copies of the Bible though

Wasn't it in like Egypt or did they go to Greece?

Don't remember

Septuagint literally means 'translation of the 70' in Greek

Part of me thinks it was in Alexandria...

"Seventy-two Jewish scholars were asked by the Greek King of Egypt Ptolemy II Philadelphus to translate the Torah from Biblical Hebrew into Greek, for inclusion in the Library of Alexandria."

It was Alexandria, Egypt

That's why I think Alexandria, it was for the library.

Probably

Hebrew was not a common language in Egypt even among Jews
