The Septuagint Greek translation of the Hebrew text dated as from the 3rd century BCE is supported (for the Torah translation) by a number of factors, including the Greek being representative of early Koine, citations beginning as early as the 2nd century BCE, and early manuscripts datable to the 2nd century. Hence, the oldest available text is the Septuagint.
