During the reigning of the Greek empire, the leader of Greece called………..became impressed by the Jewish culture and their God (Hebrew God).
Due to the Torah wisdom and the excellence of how the Jewish nation was conducting it’s national matters, this Greek leader decided to beseech the 70 elders in the court of Sanhedrin of Israel, asking them to translate the Torah (old testament, five books of Moses) to Greek.
From that point; (after the translation), the Torah wisdom and teachings which was taught in the name of the Hebrew God, now became a philosophical debt, and an academic study which had to be tested, proved and attributed to the greek gods via the philosophers and the Socrates of Greece.
Most of the ideas from the book of Ecclesiastic, proverbs, and the other books of bible, were used as Greek metaphors, quotes and they also attributed them to their god Zeus.
