SUGGESTION: LXX section in Hebrew word study

For other Bible we can get the appropriate translation ring sections of the BWS regardless of whether we give the target language (English) or the original language (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek). However, for the LXX we can only get results from the target language (Greek). I'd like to also get it from the original language (Hebrew) and yes, I'd remember the caveats.

the caveats:

The problem is did they miss translate the Jerusalem Hebrew Version or was there a different Alexandrian Hebrew version that they translated very well.

See chapter seven of: Martin Hengel, Roland Deines and Mark E. Biddle, The Septuagint as Christian Scripture : Its Prehistory and the Problem of Its Canon.

You will find readings from the Qumran scrolls which would appear to support the MT, the LXX and the Sam Pent. Apparently the text wasn't totally fixed at that point.

JAMNIA (JABNEH), COUNCIL OF. The concept of the Council of Jamnia is an hypothesis to explain the canonization of the Writings (the third division of the Hebrew Bible) resulting in the closing of the Hebrew canon. [[about 90-95 ad]]

Jack P. Lewis, "Jamnia, Council of", in , vol. 3, The Anchor Yale Bible Dictionary, ed. David Noel Freedman, 634 (New York: Doubleday, 1992).

[[Other sources [that I could not locate in 3 minutes] state the canonization of all of the Hebrew Canon as late as 150]]

And then the Christians started changing the Greek to match the Hebrew - Big mistake! [IMHO] at least that is what is stated in

the Quran – the holy scriptures of the Islamic faith – states that the Jewish and the Christian Faith had had the true Scripture but had changed them.

There are questions regarding the Jamnia hypothesis. Additionally, there is a difference between determining the works which are to be included in the canon and fixing the text. We know that in the NT the text has not been fully fixed even to this day. That's what textual criticism is all about.
