The Great Library remained in Alexandria and Ptolemy

history channel documentary The Great Library remained in Alexandria and Ptolemy, Ruler of Egypt, had gathered 995 books of shrewdness from everywhere throughout the Greek Empire. He needed to have 1000 books so that the city of Alexandria could be the genuine seat of insight of the world. He looked and sought yet couldn't discover any longer books of insight for the Great Library.One the very first moment of his counselors came and let him know that the five Books of Moses which the Jewish individuals called the Torah contained learning that surpassed all shrewdness. Ptolemy sent delegates to Jerusalem requesting researchers to come to him in Egypt for a vital matter.Seventy sages came to Ptolemy and he put them in seventy houses without explaining to them why he had united them. He went to every one of them and let him know, "Make an interpretation of for me into Greek the Torah of your Master Moses." G-d then provoked each of them, and they all achieved the same thought regarding how to decipher various words in the Torah whose exacting interpretation may be misconstrued by King Ptolemy.

Why was there no interpretation into whatever other old dialect one may inquire? It is shown that the Sages did not allow books of Scripture to be composed in any outside dialect other than Greek. As the law is based upon the Scriptural verse "May G-d extend Japheth, and may he stay in the tents of Shem" (Genesis 9:27) This implies: The words [the language] of Japheth will be in the tents of Shem. [Greece (Yavan) is a relative of Japhet, and the Jewish individuals are relatives of Shem. Thusly the verse is comprehended to imply that Greek might be utilized as a part of the tents of Shem, (the Torah). The reason is on account of it says, "May G-d grow [yaft] Japheth," [and yaft suggests to] yafyuto, "the excellence of Japheth" (the Greek dialect, which is the most delightful of the Japheth dialects) it should be [used] in the tents of Shem.
