	Hi greenBubble,

	I assume from your question that you are Jewish. I don't know if you
are
	Orthodox, Conservative, Reformed, or some other branch.

Indeed.  I am an observant Orthodox Jew.

	Whether the texts in Hebrew used in modern synagogues actually
pre-date
	the Greek and Aramaic texts is an academic question, and I'm not
sure
	either of us has a complete answer to it. 

Our tradition is that our Torah scrolls (containing the First books Moses)
are virtually identical to Moses' 3300 years ago.  A few minor spelling
questions have popped up.  And the script has changed.  The Septuagint,
mentioned in the Talmud, and the Aramaic translations you mentioned, are all
translations from our texts.
