How do you prove Jesus used the LXX.
Even in modern synagogues most Jews read the scripture in Hebrew.
Can you show that was not the case in the 1st century Palestine?
I do not think NT quotes are enough.
Also if LXX was authoritative then why is not every OT quote from the LXX?

Subject: The Septuaginta
Pondering a question for a possible upcoming article; Is the
Septuaginta
"authoritative" or simply "accommodative" or both. I did a research
paper
on Gen.12:1-3 "The Call of Abraham" employing the Septuaginta (as my
Hebrew
is virtually nil. My professor gave me an "A" but,in his comments,
he
stated; "though your exposition, application and exegegis was
excellent, I
questioned the validity/accuracy of your use of the LXX,to stress
your
position. I would be more comfortable had you used a "hebrew based
help"
such as "Keil & Delitzsch" or "Theological Dictionary of the Old
Testament". My question is, If the LXX is the Bible that Jesus
used, was
it authoritative and binding, or did He merely use it to accommodate
the
"Hebraically Challenged" populous. Your comments and thoughts will
be
greatly appreciated.
