Today, we think of The Bible as a fixed set of books, bound together in a single volume, so it is easy to assume that the Septuagint (LXX) was conceived as a fixed set of books and that the translators completed a planned project by a particular year.
The LXX was a translation of the Hebrew Bible into Greek, undertaken by the diaspora Jews in ancient Egypt. The process of translating the Scriptures into Greek was well underway by the early third century BCE, but it is less certain when the books of the present-day Jewish canon were fully translated.
In the first and second centuries CE there were more literal renderings, revising the LXX, sometimes almost to the point of constituting new translations.
