Conclusion

10.6. Conclusion
The text of the Old Testament was faithfully preserved by the community of believers in the Old Testament. Those who were responsible for transmitting the text did that with the uttermost care. The manuscripts of the Old Testament which are still available, along with the old translations, allow us to study the text of the Old Testament in detail. Differences in translations of the bible may be due to differences in manuscripts. In the next chapter this is discussed in more detail, with the New Testament as the point of departure.
