We need not say more. Take it from an honest archeologist with many years of experience and actual digs in the Middle East from Egypt to Syria who is now a church pastor himself - Steven Rudd.
Hebrew was an extinct language starting from the end of the exile all the way to 1915 AD. Wow! Blows your mind! That means that Jesus, the Apostles, St. Paul and their disciples DID NOT SPEAK HEBREW AT ALL TO COMMUNICATE GREAT TRUTHS. Instead they used the common language which was Koine Greek. Aside from the evidence of the Dead Sea Scrolls, we can see how valuable the Greek translation of the Jewish Scriptures are!
The LXX is a MUST HAVE for any serious Christian!
I have Rudd's book but it seems that his website has more details than the book. So enjoy the link
