With Accordance you can view the Hebrew, LXX, and Brenton texts side by
side, as well as Tov's MT/LXX parallel aligned text. It should be noted
that Brenton's translation often follows an underlying Greek text that
differs--sometimes significantly--from the Rahlfs Greek text, so one
must be careful when using Brenton with Rahlfs.
