:The Septuagint is older than the Masoretic text by up to 1,000 years. The Septuagint has also been found to be more accurate than the Masoretic text when comparing to the oldest manuscripts known (the Dead Sea Scrolls). New Testament prophesies can work in the Masoretic and Septuangint versions, but not in all cases. Because of the nature of exact quotes, even if they are different versions that say basically the same thing, they aren't going to match. (Consider as an example the NIV and NASB versions of the Bible.)
:You are correct that the New Testament writers appear to have used the Septuagint version as that was the accepted Jewish Bible of Palestine at that time since most of the people no longer spoke or understood Hebrew. [[User:Learn together|Learn together]] 00:57, 26 November 2007 (EST)
