Septuagint: Apostles' Bible

Why is Psalm 23 numbered 22 here?

The Greek and Hebrew traditions divide the same 150 psalms differently in four places, which shifts every number in between by one. The App always shows both numbers, and searching for a psalm in either numbering finds it. There is a second, subtler shift as well: the Greek counts a psalm's title as verse 1 and the Hebrew does not, so verse numbers can differ by one too.

What do the three badges mean?

When a New Testament writer quotes the Old Testament, he may follow the Greek text, the Hebrew text, or neither exactly. The badge says which. "Neither exactly" is an ordinary and common answer — often the writer was quoting from memory, paraphrasing, or drawing on both.

Why does Proverbs 30 look empty?

The Greek orders Proverbs differently from the Hebrew. The material printed as chapter 30 in Hebrew-order Bibles appears in chapter 24 here, and the App says so on that page.

Which books are included?

All fifty-three books of this canon, including the deuterocanonical books read in the Orthodox and Catholic churches, and Psalm 151, which the Hebrew Bible does not have.
