Paul himself may have been acquainted with most of the books comprised in the list. A second aid toward an explanation of the books in- cluded in the Greek Old Testament is the fact that the Greek translation of the Hebrew Bible began among the Israelites in Egypt, as we have seen above. Whether all the translating was done there we cannot say, but what we do know points to the conclusion that Egypt was the home of this important transfer of the Hebrew Scriptures into the world-language of the ...time. Alexan- dria was perhaps the most cosmopolitan city of that age, a center of culture, learning, business, and commerce, and a gathering-place of nations. Such a center always tends to liberality of thought and comprehensiveness of 108 HOW THE BIBLE GREW views, in religion as well as in other affairs. In a situa- tion of that type it was natural that even the sons of Israel should take a wider view of Judaism and her sacred books than was taken in Palestine.
