Book of Contradictions: A Challenge

[Nimzo]

The earliest extant version we possess is the Septuagint which was written in Greek in the 3d century BC.

The earliest fragments are dated to the 2nd Century BCE, and the writing down of the Septuagint is dated to the 3rd to 1st centuries (beginning with the Pentateuch) based on Josephus who explicitly says that the Pentateuch was translated by Jews "into the Greek tongue" from a text "written in characters and in a dialect of their own" during the reign of Alexander.
