Yes, please do feel free to use the text I have posted on eBible.org, if you like. If you find errors in it, please let me know so that I can correct them. I have found some by comparing a couple of different sources, but there may still be a few typos/OCR errors. If you have done some work preparing text of the Brenton LXX, you might try comparing it to what I posted to see if there are any errors revealed in that process. This is a good way to redeem the work you have already done. Proofreading is hard. For proof of that, try searching for "statue" in some electronic copies of the ASV (other than the one at http://eBible.org/asv/), and see if it shouldn't actually be "statute". :-)

The LXX2012 is a spelling-updated version of the Brenton translation, with numerous substitutions like "hath"->"has" done.

Enjoy!

Now that I've seen Michael has place his text in the public domain, really appreciate you pointing out these links.

This is going to make things go much quicker.   Though I have already spent some effort building source text, haven't pride enough to stop me from using Michaels text instead, which as far as I can tell has fewer errors.

I expect that LXXE does indeed mean the English Brenton.

If so, then Andrew should be made aware that Michael Johnson is working on a
modernized English LXX.
