Against what that guy with the theology degree said or whatever, The Septuagint was regarded as the truest representation of the Torah back in the day because the Jerusalem Hebrew Torah wasn't standardized until about 300 years after the Septuagint. Augustine commented that there was a certain idealogical appeal to reading the Torah in Hebrew, but he was an even bigger supporter of the Septuagint because of the amazing level of confluence among its eponymous 70 translators (Septuagint means "of the seventy", hence it being abbreviated LXX often). Plus, the removal of the deuterocanon in the Hebrew Scriptures was seen as a dick political move made in the late First Century to advocate the idea that nothing divine can come from outside of Israel.
