Since you have poised a question what other Biblical sources do I have outside of the modern Hebrew text or the Greek Septuagint text.
Well I have three biblical sources and will reveal at least two in the blog text.
Most of the Old Testament (Torah) scriptures were written in Paleo-Hebrew, or closely related derivative (Samaritan).
Generally the Samaritan text is an offshoot of ancient Phoenician script the precursor of pictograph Ancient Hebrew ,Paleo-Hebrew represents the writings of King David, Solomon, the script of Moses (approximately1400 BCE).
Modern Hebrew (Babylonian), on the other hand, is not quite so ancient . Israelites acquired this new alphabet from Assyria (PERSIA), somewhere around the 6th-7th century B.C.
This was the same general time period as Israel's exile to Babylon... many centuries after most of the Old Testament was written.
Initially, the Old Testament Scriptures were exclusively written in Paleo-Hebrew.
Then, after borrowing the new alphabet from the Assyrians, the Hebrews began transliterating large portions of Scripture into the newer version.
Now here are the texts in my possession to check the validity of the King James 1611 version which I use because the expert panel of academics were well versed in Chaldee language.
The origins of our Patriarch Abraham from Ur, Iraq.
A. Samaritan Pentateuch
B. The Messianic Aleph Tav Scriptures Paelo-Hebrew Study Bible Edition
Let's get down to some chronological history dates of the transliteration from the Paleo- Hebrew text to other forms:
A. Greek Septuagint written 250 BCE
B. Vorlage Text 400 BCE which was a ancient paleo-hebrew text which lead to the Greek Septuagint/ Hebrew Bible used today.
The Samaritan Pentateuch uses the Samaritan alphabet, which is closely related to Paleo-Hebrew. This text looks similar to what Moses saw before 1100 BCE.
Unlike the newer Assyrian/Babylonian alphabet copies around the time of the Messiah (Jesus/Yahawahshi), the majority of copies of the old testament had either been transliterated into modern Hebrew, or translated into Greek (in the Septuagint).
However the Samaritan Pentateuch which continues to be written in the ancient paleo-hebrew form, even to this modern day (today).
The same goes for the other text that I reference (The Messianic Aleph Tav Scriptures Paelo-Hebrew Study Bible).
So for further edification I expect that you will refrain from asking me this question again on this forum.
Have a good day!
