''[[The Septuagint version of the Old Testament (Brenton)|The Septuagint with Apocrypha: Greek and English]]'' was translated by Lancelot Brenton in 1854. It is the traditional translation, and most of the time since its publication it has been the only one readily available. It has also been continually in print. The translation, based on the [[Codex Vaticanus]], contains the Greek and English texts in parallel columns.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Read the Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha Free Online |url=https://www.biblestudytools.com/lxx/ |access-date=2024-03-24 |website=Bible Study Tools |language=en}}</ref> It has an average of four footnoted, transliterated words per page, abbreviated ''Alex'' and ''GK''.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}}

In 2012, Lexham Press published the ''Lexham English Septuagint'' (LES), providing a literal, readable, and transparent English edition of the Septuagint for modern readers.<ref name=Lexham36588>{{Cite web |title=The Lexham English Septuagint (LES) |url=https://www.logos.com/product/36588/the-lexham-english-septuagint |access-date=2021-04-08 |website=www.logos.com}}</ref> In 2019, Lexham Press published the ''Lexham English Septuagint,'' Second Edition (LES2), making more of an effort than the first to focus on the text as received rather than as produced.
