But who says there necessarily was an original Hebrew text? It is perfectly possible that the early figures of the Bible spoke Aramaic and not Hebrew.
I reckon the LXX is useful, and yes the errors of the MT can be corrected using it as well as the Peshitta Tanakh. Correct me if I am wrong anybody but am I right in thinking that Greek is a language where multiple meanings are more limited in comparison to Semetic languages? I.e. is my studies of Hebrew and Arabic I see that a 3 letter root can yield many meanings, some of which are quite diverse. Is the Greek language more limited in comparison?
