&lt;p&gt;In this &lt;em&gt;final&lt;/em&gt; episode of the Septuagint (LXX) series, we discuss what needs to be done to produce a proper translation of the LXX in English. This a technical episode, but a vital one. There should exist in every language spoken by a Christian nation &lt;em&gt;a&lt;/em&gt; definitive version of the Scriptures in that language, and in this episode we provide the structure and the mechanics by which that can be achieved.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;This will be a years-long project, and it will have to be undertaken by other men. Until then, we have provided links to a number of existing English translations in the show notes, &lt;em&gt;infra&lt;/em&gt;. Any existing version of the LXX in English is certainly better than all of the extant copies based on the rabbinic text.&lt;/p&gt;
