You bring up some good points there Steve, as I was reading them, it occured to me, that a wise God, could use a language (Koine Greek) in order to not only reach a border audience (which it did) but take advantage of the fact, that Greek is more precise, than Hebrew and Aramaic, harder to misunderstand. So, when the time was right, bring Alexander the Great into power, have him simplify Greek so that more people could understand it, and that it would be understood more perfectly, then have Him conquer the world, so that the language would be spread far and wide.

Then, as "fate" would have it, Greek speaking Jews in Alexandria, would translate the Hebrew that the knew, into Greek that they also knew. In this way we get things like Virgin (parthenos), for the birth of the future Messiah, instead of maiden (alma), that the Hebrew is more vague about. Also, when we look to the New Testament, and see the Septuagint quoted, the prophecies of the Old Testament, look more Messianic, that the Hebrew of the Masoretic texts indicate. No wonder they quoted the Greek.

God is really smart!

Amen.
