A New English Translation of the Septuagint (Primary Texts) is unavailable, but you can change that!

The Septuagint (the ancient Greek translation of Jewish sacred writings) is of great importance in the history of both Judaism and Christianity. The first translation of the books of the Hebrew Bible (plus additions) into the common language of the ancient Mediterranean world made the Jewish scriptures accessible to many outside Judaism. Not only did the Septuagint become Holy Writ to Greek...

Then he brought him outside and said to him, “Look up to heaven, and number the stars, if you will be able to count them.” And he said, “So shall your offspring be.” And Abram believed God, and it was reckoned to him as righteousness.
Genesis 15:5–6
