Okay Eric, I was not looking for quite this short of an answer. I have
always thought that the MT was a Hebrew back translation of the LXX. Is
this right or was there Hebrew texts that were used?

Short version: God gave it (or at least the
Pentateuch/Torah) to Moses. :)

The origin of the LXX is anything but a "short version"
or easy to understand!
