Description

The Septuagint was the original Old Testament used by Christians in the first few centuries but was later replaced in western Bibles by the Masoretic Texts. As a result, most early Christian writings are confusing, especially when discussing the chronology of the world. Septuagint: Psalms is a 21st-century English translation that is easy to understand, using common English versions of Hebrew names instead of transliterated Greek names that are generally found in translations of the Septuagint. When ancient place names are known, such as Uruk, the modern term is used instead of the Greek (Orech) or Hebrew (Erech) translations. Unlike the later Masoretic Texts, the Septuagint was not a monotheistic work, but rather a Hedonistic text, which recognized the existence of many gods, but was dedicated to the worship of one above the others: Iaw, later transliterated as Jehovah or Yahweh.

The Psalms are a complex collection of hymns and prayers likely composed over many centuries, and by various authors. The majority of the psalms are attributed to King David or are written for King David, including the first 40, which are likely the original group of psalms. Many other psalms are attributed to, or written for Asaph, Solomon, Ethan, Moses, Jeremiah, Haggai, Zachariah, the sons of Korah, or the sons of Jehonadab. Some of the psalms have internal historical references that indicate the likely time-frame they were written in. One of the historical references that appears repeatedly in the psalms is Egypt as being in the land of Ham. The Hebrew term Ham referred to any black-skinned people, much like the Greek term Aethiopian, and therefore this dates some of the psalms the Nubian rule of Egypt, between 744 and 656 BC. The earliest historical reference found in the psalms is a reference to Iaw having horns, which he was depicted as having in the artifacts recovered from Kuntillet Ajrud in the Sinai desert which date to around 900 BC. This last reference is not universally accepted, as many have historically refused to accept that Iaw was originally depicted with horns, however, since the discoveries at Kuntillet Ajrud in the 1970s, this interpretation of the texts has regained support. The latest historic reference found in the psalms is the reference to Iaw as the 'god of the sky,' a Zoroastrian reference to Ahura Mazda, that dates the psalms in question to the Persian era between 539 and 332 BC.
