The Septuagint Translation, and the 2300 days.
MR. CUNNINGHAM, on page 287, of his work on the Revelation, published in 1813, says: “I have shown in a paper, in the Christian Observer, for May 1811, that every edition of the Septuagint in existence, and also the Vatican, MS. agree with the Hebrew text, in rendering two thousand three hundred days, with the sole exception of the Vatican edition, which is the most modern of all the original editions of the Septuagint.” The foregoing shows clearly that there is no confidence whatever to be placed in the Septuagint rendering —“2400 days,” since this rendering is not to be found in any of the older editions, where it should be if this reading is correct. But since all the older editions of the Septuagint agree with the Hebrew, there can be no question but that “two thousand and three hundred days,” is correct.—Herald of Bridegroom.
