===Etymology===
From {{der|en|LL.|Septuaginta}}, lit. "The Seventy", a clipping of earlier descriptional names such as {{m|la|septuaginta}} {{m|la|translatio||[[translation]] by the [[seventy]]}} and {{m|la|septuaginta}} {{m|la|interpretes||the [[70]] [[interpreter]]s}}, [[calque]]s of {{der|en|grc-koi|-}} names such as {{m|grc|οἱ|tr=-}} {{m|grc|ἐβδομήκοντα|tr=-}} {{m|grc|ἑρμηνευταί|tr=-}} (''hoi ebdomḗkonta hermēneutaí'', “the [[70]] [[interpreter]]s”) and {{m|grc|οἱ|tr=-}} {{m|grc|Ο′|tr=-}} (''hoi O′'', “the [[LXX]]”), deriving from the popular (but {{w|Letter of Aristeas|probably mistaken}}) belief that its translation of the [[Torah]] had been produced in 72 days by a team of 72 Jewish scholars from [[Jerusalem]] (6 from each {{w|Twelve Tribes of Israel|tribe}}) summoned to [[Alexandria]] during the reign of {{w|Ptolemy II Philadelphus|Ptolemy II}}.
Borrowed from {{bor|en|la|septuāgintā||the seventy}}, for the reputed 70 scholars who did the work.

#*: Traces of messianism in the '''Septuagint''' have occupied scholars for years; the Book of Ezekiel too has challenged attention in this specific domain of research.

#*: The '''Septuagint''' originated, for the most part, as a translation of a source text. As such it represents a link—and a very important one—in the reception history of the Hebrew-Aramaic scriptures. But the '''Septuagint''' very soon turned into a literary and religious reference in its own right.{{...}}The '''Septuagint''' itself became the starting point for a new reception history.
