Prior to Jerome&rsquo;s work, Western Christians relied on translations from the Septuagint (LXX), which differed significantly from the original Hebrew text. This created tension between Christians and Jews, with many Christians accusing the Jews of falsifying the Hebrew text to conceal its messianic prophecies.</p>
