Since the web host acts like a proxy, because it hides your IP address, it has been blocked. To stop abuse, these IPs may be blocked from changing Wikipedia.

If you do not believe you are using a web host and think this block is unfair, you can ask to be unblocked by adding {{Unblock|your reason here}} to your user talk page. If you cannot do this or the reason is private please send an e-mail to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply.

Innocent?

Sometimes large ranges are blocked from changing Wikipedia for very bad cases of vandalism. This means that a lot of people may not be able to change pages.

If you are blocked and want to change pages you may send an email to simple-admins-l@lists.wikimedia.org and an administrator will look at your reason and reply.

Also, if you have a dynamic IP address, some dynamic IP addresses may already be blocked when they are assigned to you.

We are sorry for any problems this may cause.

Teacher's Edition-The Holy Bible).jpg|thumb|200px|right|The Septuagint:  A column of uncial text from [[1 Esdras]] in the ''[[Codex Vaticanus]]'', the basis of Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton's Greek edition and [[Brenton's English Translation of the Septuagint|English translation]].]]
The original '''Septuagint''' (often referred to ''LXX'') was a translation of the [[Torah]], the five books of Moses from the [[Hebrew Bible]] into the [[Greek language]]. It was done between the 3rd and 1st centuries BC in [[Alexandria]]. It was the first translations of the Hebrew Bible. After 350 years, the Church translated all the books of the [[Old Testament]], and it also has books that [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholics]] and [[Eastern Orthodox Church|Orthodox Christians]] call the [[deuterocanonical books|Deuterocanon]]. These books are called [[Apocrypha]] by [[Protestant]]s because they do not think these books are [[sacred]].

An ancient tradition says that 70 [[Judaism|Jewish]] scholars were in different rooms when they translated the [[Torah]] from [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] into Greek, yet they all produced exactly the same text. People thought this was a [[miracle]]. The [[Latin language]] word for "70" is ''septuaginta'', and the word "Septuagint" comes from that. Another way to write "70" is "LXX" which is why writers sometimes use that as a short name for Septuagint.

The Septuagint was used as the starting point for some later translations of the Bible.
