I'm taking a bible course that asked these two questions and I can't find the answers anywhere, so I'm stumped. Online bible answers didn't answer it sufficiently, so I'm still stumped.
What is the Septuagint?
Who were the three groups in the septuagint that were anointed?
I don't remember this being anywhere in the bible, but my memory isn't perfect. Appreciate any and all help!

70 Hebrew scholars went to Alexandria ,Egypt to translate the Hebrew scriptures into Greek ,they did it in 70 days.Hence the name Septtuagent (70).That is the version the Apostles would probably would have seen and most of the KJV is based on.

The Septuagint is a Greek version of the Hebrew Scriptures that dates from the 3rd century BCE and contains both a translation of the Hebrew and additional and variant material, regarded as the standard form of the Old Testament in the early Christian Church and still canonical in the Eastern Orthodox Church.

The Septuagint, or simply "LXX", is the name commonly given in the West to the ancient, Koine Greek version of the Old Testament translated in stages between the 3rd to 1st century BC in Alexandria. It is the oldest of several ancient translations of the Hebrew Bible into Greek.
