In this course students will translate selected texts of the Greek version of 1 and 2 Chronicles, Ezra, or Nehemiah, which date from two centuries before to two centuries after the time of Christ and which were used by the Early Church. Students will use both Greek and Hebrew skills in the study of the books’ translation technique and will compare the Greek text to the Hebrew text. Consideration will also be given to the use of the texts in the New Testament. This course will develop Greek translation skills, and will provide students with the foundation for advanced study in the Septuagint and further research in the Septuagint.
