Hebrew Torah to Greek Pentateuch
The Diaspora resulted in most ethnic Israelites not comprehending, speaking, or reading the language of their ancestors (paleo-hebrew), and the spread of communities results in having redacted bibles which meet the language of the communities, with Aramaic being less common and Greek being most common, with other languages such as Arabic, or non-semitic languages gaining a foothold in the collection of scrolls and transmission of biblical knowledge and events and tombs or monuments.
