In addition, readers will find sections included, based upon rabbinical traditions used in the making of the Septuagint, such as Psalm 151 and Job 42:18-22, that are not in other translations.

The KJV Septuagint - translated from the Septuagint edition published by the Orthodox Church of Greece's Apostoliki Diakonia, using the King James Version as a template. That the Septuagint is the most authoritative text in the Orthodox Church is something that is confirmed in just about any Orthodox catechetical text you could consult. Because of the Holy Apostles Translation I (by the grace of God) feel I have flourished much more spiritually since I began using them some time ago! The Ancient Faith Edition (released Feb 2019), available in both hardcover and Leathersoft, contains the identical content you know and love from the previous, most current release of the Orthodox Study Bible, including the same commentaries, notes, supplemental articles, and full-color icons and maps.

I use the KJV as the ultimate authority after the Church itself and I find The New Strong's Exhaustive Concordance of the Bible with Greek and Hebrew dictionaries by, (ISBN 0785250557), to be extremely helpful, and cost effective too. This development was unfortunate: it gravely weakened the early Church’s attitude of Vetus Testamentum in Novo Receptum, and led to the present anomaly of modern biblical criticism conducted outside of the Church. Where this differs from the Hebrew text (which happens quite often), Orthodox believe that the changes in the Septuagint were made under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, and are to be accepted as part of God’s continuing revelation.

The "Translation of the Seventy" (from the Greek Ἡ μετάφρασις τῶν Ἑβδομήκοντα), better known as the Septuagint (from the Latin septuaginta or "seventy", also referred to by the Roman numeral for seventy, LXX) originally referred to a 3rd century B. Before his death in 1536, William Tyndale had translated about half of the Old Testament directly from the Hebrew Masoretic text rather than the Septuagint Greek or the Vulgate Latin of Christendom.I should probably have something more substantive to say, but I feel a bit like Forrest Gump after he ran across the country.
