@NoahSnyder Point entirely taken. I regret not having specifically said 'Hebrew' to begin with.

I'm confused here. Is the question, "Is there a scholarly apparatus behind this translation that I can use to evaluate the translators' choices'?

OK, let me be more precise. You need to know a pile of languages to contribute any new thought to the translation of the Hebrew Bible. I have no idea what you need to be useful in greek.

Competent translators are experts in about 6 languages, since evidence from cognate languates (e.g. Ugaritic) is critical..
