The Septuagint Version Of The Old Testament: English Translation by Sir Lancelot Charles Lee Brenton

This book is one of the most beautiful and important in the Apocrypha. Its first portion (1–11:4) is distinguished for the singular beauty of its style, its noble teaching on immortality, and its panegyric on Wisdom. The second portion of the book is very inferior to the first, from a literary point of view. It contains a pictorial commentary on the story of the Exodus.

The book was, without doubt, written in Greek by an Alexandrian Jew, probably a short while before the Christian era.
