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.
