Juicy Tobit: The Secret Tale Bridging Jewish and Christian Bibles➕

The oldest and most reliable witnesses to the Jewish scriptures are the Hebrew Masoretic Text (as preserved in medieval manuscripts like the Leningrad Codex) and the fragmentary but ancient Dead Sea Scrolls. For Christians the earliest Old Testament translation is the Greek Septuagint (LXX) and the earliest New Testament witnesses are Greek codices such as Vaticanus. Today most Jewish readers use editions like the JPS Tanakh or ArtScroll Tanakh and most Protestant readers use translations such as the King James Version, the New International Version or the English Standard Version.
