The Old Covenant, Commonly Called the Old Testament: Translated from the Septuagint

Charles Thomson’s translation of the Greek Bible (both the Septuagint and the New Testament) was an important “first.” It was the first English Bible translation in America, the first translation of the Septuagint into English—perhaps any modern language—and the first Bible printed by a woman. Thomson chose the Septuagint as the basis for his translation because it was the earliest available text of the Old Testament in any language.
