Rabbis translate the Jewish Bible from Hebrew to
Greek, a translation called the "Septuagint" (abbreviation: "LXX").
The LXX ultimately includes 46 books.

There is an interesting legend telling how the Greek
translation of the Old Testament came to be called the Septuagint.
About 250 BC, word of a famous and beautifully written book
possessed by the Jews had reached the ear of the Ptolemaic King
Philadelphus.
