Is it legitimate to affirm that the Septuagint had a determinant role in the shaping of the Epistle to the Hebrews? Has the Author of Hebrews formulated his argumentation in a way that he would not have done had he been expounding the Hebrew text? This author of this text explores the discernable and distinct influence exerted by the Septuagint on the Epistle to the Hebrews.
