The Minor Prophets in the Septuagint

Scripture-ish · May 28, 2026 · 17m

The Minor Prophets were translated into Greek probably sometime in the second century BC, probably either in Egypt or Palestine, and apparently all by a single translator. (See Tov 2019: 130–31.) The same translator was perhaps also responsible for the Greek translation of Jeremiah and Ezekiel. The translation is quite close to the traditional Hebrew text (the Masoretic Text; Tov 2019: 132).

The standard Greek edition of this translation was produced by Joseph Ziegler in 1943 and updated by Felix Albrecht a couple years ago. (For an English translation, see here.)
