This translation of the sacred text of the Old Testament is the result of a painstaking and long-term effort, approximately thirty years in the making, initiated by the late professor of the Old Testament at the University of Athens and Director of the Apostolic Diaconate, Vasileios Vellas.
The rendering into modern Greek of the 39 books of the Old Testament, whose original text is written in Hebrew, was done from the critical edition of the Hebrew text Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia.
For the books whose original text is in Greek, the rendering was done from the also critical edition of the text of the Septuagint (LXX) A. Rahlfs, "Septuaginta."
The choice to translate the Hebrew text of the Old Testament was made for scientific reasons and, even more so, to serve as the basis for a future translation of the text of the LXX, which is also planned by the Greek Biblical Society.
