Yes, you can
Thanks. Just got the upgrade.
mm.
I just bought it, but it doesn't show in my library.
Insofar as it was set to ship today, I imagine it will show up sometime later today. I have another pre-pub ordered (also shipping today) that has not shown up yet.
thanks for the post, and thanks FL for the free upgrade
There is now a notice that reads as follows: "The production of the digital edition of the Lexham English Septuagint has been slightly delayed. It will download automatically as soon as it has completed production."
Thanks.

I missed reading that but now it makes sense.
I appreciate FaithLife's pattern of providing free resources on a regular basis. This generosity may be good business - I suspect that it is - but it's also been a blessing for me.
Thank you, FL!
谢谢！
Thanks for this great find!
Does Faithlife intend to automatically update users who already have the first edition at some point?
I don't think so. This is a separate resource so the second will not replace the first. It is my understanding that this offer is for a limited time.
I got the hardcover in the mail today! It’s beautiful. I’m a sucker for a well-crafted cloth-over-board hardcover book. Excellent job, Lexham Press!

No. You'll have to buy the free version now. From what I've seen it is a limited time deal so grab it for free (if you own the 1st one) now.
same here.

I have the digital edition of the first edition of the Lexham English Septuagint (LES) and very much appreciate Faithlife providing the second edition at no cost to us.
Just in case people have not received an email from Faithlife here's the text of an email I received today (19 January 2020):
We’ve come out with a new edition of the Lexham English Septuagint, available now for the first time in print. This updated edition is also available digitally for Logos Bible Software. Because you own the first edition of the Septuagint as a digital edition, you can get the second edition for free in digital form for a limited time. To redeem your free copy of the second edition, simply add the Logos edition of the Lexham English Septuagint, Second Edition to your cart and the discount will be applied automatically. This offer expires on February 15, 2020. After this limited-time free offer expires, owners of the first edition will be able to get the second edition for 50% off.
The email has a "redeem now" button that will add the LES (2nd edition) to your cart (once you log in with your password) with the discount applied.
So far the resource has not downloaded, but like you I'm looking forward to it becoming available soon. Keep well Paul
I received the email, but then when I click on "redeem now" it wants to charge me.
Anyone else?

I didn't see an email, but just clicked on the link at the top of this thread. The price was zero, I put it in the cart, and 0 it remained. Just reporting.
39.99 for the print version, and 0 for the download is what I see from the email link. The choice is just above the "Add to Cart" button.
Does anyone know if it has been released yet?
do you have more than one account?
As someone else stated above, make sure that you have chosen the digital and not the print version.
Same here!
Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience, everyone.
This product is not currently available from our servers. We are working on fixing this. The LES Second Edtion will then become available automatically to all who ordered it.
I clearly own this, but keep getting charged. Have done it from the email AND the link.
Maybe you only have a temporary license.
The first screenshot proves only that you have access to it, not that you own it.
The print version seems to drop the text brackets (for text notes) and italics (for implied words). I wonder if the Logos version will as well.
Also, what does this mean: The second edition of the LES makes more of an effort than the first to focus on the text as received rather than as produced. Because this approach shifts the point of reference from a diverse group to a single implied reader, the new LES exhibits more consistency than the first edition.
I apologize for the inconvenience, Ben. I am sending you an email.
Yes, the 2nd edition dropped the brackets and italics. The notes were also revised. These changes are primarily why the 1st edition has been left alone and not simply updated. This was a major revision.
About consistency, more effort was made to translate a Greek word consistently with the same English word where appropriate (rather than freely using synonyms in English). It also means the revisers took into consideration how a Greek reader in the Roman period would have understood the Greek. Not being one of the revisers, I can't say exactly how this worked. In general, I think it meant that they didn't always smooth out difficulties where a Greek reader would have encountered unusual expressions or foreign figures of speech.
If you have had difficulty ordering the LES Second Edition at the discount, please simply try to order it again. You should find that it works now.
If you need further help, please contact Customer Service at customerservice@faithlife.com or at 1-800-875-6467.
Thanks Doug! Two questions:
Will the LEB receive a similar update (revision, brackets, italics)? Will the LEB and LES ever be released for Kindle? It'd be nice to read them on there as well.
1. If we revise LEB similarly and extensively revise wording and adjust conventions for brackets and italics, it will also be released as a separate resource. Whether that new resource will be a 2nd edition of LEB or a new translation that uses LEB as its starting point is TBD. Updates to the current LEB resource tend to be limited to typos and minor revisions (the latter usually to fix grammatical errors).
2. I'm not aware of any plans to produce LEB and LES for Kindle, but I'm not usually involved in the decisions on what formats or platforms are available for our resources. I believe LEB is available on the Bible Gateway website and app.
The production of the digital edition of the Lexham English Septuagint has been slightly delayed. It will download automatically as soon as it has completed production. [[as seen 01/20/2020]]

Just curious... is there an estimated release date for the digital edition?
