The other
principal sources of Old Testament material besides the Hebrew manuscripts are
the Samaritan Pentateuch which has been preserved by the Samaritans since the
time of Nehemiah, the Targums (Aramaic paraphrases of the Scripture), the
Septuagint (3rd century B.C. translation of the Old Testament into Greek),
Greek translations of the Old Testament made by Aquila, Symmachus, and
Theodotian during the 2nd century A.D., Origen’s Hexapla (a comparison
in six parallel columns of the Hebrew text, the Hebrew transliterated into
Greek letters, Aquila’s translation), the Old Latin version, Jerome’s Latin Vulgate,
and the Syriac Versions (the Peshito and the Syro-Hexaplar).
