72 Hebrew Schoars

Around 270 B. E. King Ptolemy Philadelphus desired to collect all the books in the word (at that time) for his own personal library. He lacked the 613 Jewish Laws and to acquire this he traded 1000.000 captives for a translation of it. He had a natural love of learning, a quality which is the highest possession of man through the study of history and was anxious to hear everything that tends to build up one’s soul.
For neither the pleasure derived from gold nor any other of the possessions which are pried by shallow minds confers the same benefit as the pursuit of culture and the study which we expend in securing it. For when men from pure motives plan some action in the interest of righteousness and the performance of noble deeds, Almighty G-d brings their efforts and purposes to a successful issue.
The scrolls of the Law of the Jews were written in Hebrew characters and language and had been carelessly interpreted, and did not represent the original text; for they had never had a king’s care to protect them. The king writing to the High Priest Eleazar in Jerusalem, asked him to send six elders out of every tribe to obtain an accurate translation from the Hebrew tongue into the Greek language of the Law's full wisdom ree from all blemish.
The scholars had to be men of noble life and skilled in the Hebrew Law. They were men who had not only acquired proficiency in Jewish literature but had studied most carefully that of the Greeks as well.The following are the names of the 72 elders of each tribe:
Of the first tribe, Joseph, Ezekiah, Zachariah, John, Ezekiah, Elisha.
Of the second tribe, Judas, Simon, Samuel, Adaeus, Mattathias, Eschlemias.
Of the third tribe, Nehemia, Joseph, Thedosius, Baseas, Ornias, Dakis.
Of the fourth tribe, Jonathan, Abraeus, Elisha, Ananias, Chabrias…?
Of the fifth tribe, Isaac, Jacob, Jesus, Sabbataeus, Simon, Levi.
Of the sixth tribe, Judas, Joseph, Simon, Zacharias, Samuel, Selemas.
Of the seventh tribe, Sabbataeus, Zedekiah, Jacob, Isaac, Jesias, Nattheus.
Of the eighth tribe, Theodosius, Jason, Jesus, Theodotus, John, Jonathan.
Of the ninth tribe, Theopilus, Abraham, Arsamos, Jason, Enemias, Daniel.
Of the tenth tribe, Jeremiah, Eleazar, Zachariah, Baneas, Elisha, Dathaeus.
Of the eleventh tribe, Samuel, Josheph, Judas, Jonathes, Chabu, Dositheus.
Of the twelfth tribe, Isaelus, John, Theodosius, Arsamos, Abietes, Ezekiel.
All this can be read out of the book “Letter of Aristeas,” which will go more into detail of the lavishness of the furnishings of the Temple. Shows times and customs of the culture.
Are we forever greatful to G-d for these devoted men taking 72 days to complete this task giving us understanding of G-d's instructions of how to conduct our lives. One example they gave was they always washed their hands before they prayed or study because it was a token that they had done no evil. Every form of activity is wrought by means of the hands, and they regard everything as a symbol of righteousness and truth.
There were 613 Oral Laws:248 Positive (This will positively happen if you don’t listen)365 Negative (Instructions of what not to do) and it was translated into Greek by 72 Hebrew men, teaching us G-d’s Law, or if you prefer instructions, on how to live righteously. Y’Shua’s work on the cross did not release us from all obligations to the Law. It broke down the barrier between Jew and Gentile (Col. 2:13-17; Eph. 2:11-22). It no longer binds believers, but the moral aspects of the Law, which reflect the unchanging moral character of the Father, revel change and bind all people everywhere (Matt. 5:17-19).
The Law receiver at Sinai was to train the Jews in righteousness and prepare them for their Messiah. The Law serves: to reveal sin which alienates man from G-d and to demonstrate the need for a Savior from sin (Gal. 3:19-22).
This is the way the Father told us to study and teach:
[Isa. 28:10] For precept must be upon precept, precept upon precept; line upon line, line upon line; here a little, and there a little:
Line - a rule or law or precept. The idea is taken from schoolmasters who instruct their pupils by making lines or marks for them that they are to trace or imitate. The repetition of sounds in Hebrew expresses the scorn of the imitators of Isaiah's speaking; he spoke stammering (Isaiah 28:11). G-d's mode of teaching offends by its simplicity the pride of sinners (2 Kings 5:11, 12, 1 Corinthians 1:23).
Here a little and there a little - in the manner of instructing children. G-d’s method of imparting religious truth has often appeared to a scoffing world to be undignified and foolish.Keeping it simple!
Why this book and others were not included in the Bible is because there were seven requirements for Scripture to be canonized:
1. 2 Tim. 3:15 to make one to understand salvation.
2. Rom. 10:17 to produce faith.
3. John 5:39 to revel the Messiah.
4. Acts 20:22 to establish one’s inheritance.
5. Acts 20:22 to build one up as a believer.
6. 2 Tim. 3:16 to correct and reprove.
7. 2 Tim. 3:17 to perfect the believer.
It took approximallely 40 writers composed the entire Bible, (39 Hebrew and one Gentile). If all we had to read was G-d’s Laws and His Words – it would be enough! Everything else is commentary to get full understanding.
