A guide to this book is still to come

The New Testament books here each open with a plain guide — what the book is, where it came from, when the Church reads it. Those are being written for the Old Testament too, a few at a time. The text itself is complete and is below.

About this text. This is Sir Lancelot Brenton’s 1851 translation of the Septuagint — the Greek Old Testament the Orthodox Church reads, rather than the Hebrew text behind most English Bibles. It is in the public domain. Words in italics are ones Brenton supplied that the Greek does not have; he marked them so that a reader could tell the difference, and they are kept that way here. The numbered notes are his own. Its English is Victorian, and does not match the modern English of the New Testament pages on this site.
