| Sumario: | The present article surveys and discusses the various ways in which topographical idioms where translated in the Septuagint. From examination of 19 biblical terms' renderings, it can be argued that the Septuagint's translators accurately distinguished idioms and terms that can be idiomatically transferred unchanged into Greek from others that cannot, and treated them accordingly. The paper focuses on the different translation techniques applied, their frequency throughout the LXX canon and comparison of the LXX's renderings to original Greek texts. |
