Hi,
I am working my way through Weingreen's A Practical Grammar for Classical 
Hebrew and I was wondering if anyone had come across a key to the English to 
Hebrew translation exercises so that I could check my attempts against it.
Best Wishes

We're getting cloiser, but Brenton's LXX was published in 1851 in English
right?

The Book of Mormon was published in 1830. Was there another English
publication of the LXX prior to Brenton's?
