Part 3: Point 13) All about Egypt and Alexandria: Supposedly as per the Septuagint’s narrative, the supposed Septuagint's makers went to Egypt for help and assistance of Egypt’s Pharoah Ptolemy. This is unbiblical since God specifically warns against going back to and returning to Egypt multiple times as recorded in Scripture, and Egypt worshipped false gods:
Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help; and stay on horses, and trust in chariots, because they are many; and in horsemen, because they are very strong; but they look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek the LORD! (Isaiah 31:1 KJB)
Woe to the rebellious children, saith the LORD, that take counsel, but not of me; and that cover with a covering, but not of my spirit, that they may add sin to sin: That walk to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth; to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to trust in the shadow of Egypt! (Isaiah 30:1-2 KJB)
But he shall not multiply horses to himself, nor cause the people to return to Egypt, to the end that he should multiply horses: forasmuch as the LORD hath said unto you, Ye shall henceforth return no more that way. (Deuternomy 17:16-17)
For I will pass through the land of Egypt this night, and will smite all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both man and beast; and against all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgment: I am the LORD. (Exodus 12:12)
He shall break also the images of Beth-shemesh, that is in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of the Egyptians shall he burn with fire. (Jeremiah 43:13).
And Egypt, after its 40 year exile caused by Babylon’s conquest of Egypt, became a base nation and will not exalt itself above the nations, which is certainly not helpful for those who promote the Septuagint because Egypt after its return from exile was a lower nation and not as powerful or smart:
Ezekiel 29:12-15, 19
[12] And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries. [13] Yet thus saith the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered: [14] nd I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom. [15] It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations. .. [19] Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
And look at the false gods named Castor and Pollux that Alexandria of Egypt worshipped, even in Paul’s lifetime: “And after three months we departed in a ship of Alexandria, which had wintered in the isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux.” (Acts 28:11).
Additionally, Egypt is the same as the place Sihor and was “a mart of nations” which includes worship of false gods/rampant idolatry:
And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations. (Isaiah 23:3).
And now what hast thou to do in the way of Egypt, to drink the waters of Sihor? or what hast thou to do in the way of Assyria, to drink the waters of the river? (Jeremiah 2:18)
But I say, that the things which the Gentiles sacrifice, they sacrifice to devils, and not to God: and I would not that ye should have fellowship with devils. (1 Corinthians 10:20)
Why would you want a translation or a book named the Septuagint which was made in devil-worshipping, pagan Egypt and Alexandria and that goes against God’s command to not go down to Egypt for help? Discard the Septuagint.
