Hebrew Bible vs. Greek Bible − Numbers (Amounts) in the Greek Septuagint

Over the years many people have contacted us with questions regarding the Greek Septuagint (LXX) versus the Hebrew Masoretic Text (MT). There is a heated debate about the reliability and accuracy of the Hebrew Masoretic Text, and a growing number of Bible believers are now relying on the second-hand Greek LXX translation rather than on the original Hebrew text.

 

In this video, we investigate the claims of Dr. Henry B. Smith, who maintains that the Greek LXX has preserved the correct and original chronology, while the chronology of the Hebrew MT has allegedly been corrupted by over 1,000 years!
 

Thankfully, this debate can be settled with clear evidence from the Biblical narrative itself! By calculating Methuselah's age with regards to the flood, we can show very clearly which version is correct and which version is corrupt. We also respond to a well-known counter argument on this topic.
