Did you know that Martin Luther was not a Hebrew scholar and translated almost exclusively from the Septuagint? It is the reason modern German syntax mirrors Greek, rather than Hebrew.
I asked Grok about this and it said Luther was literate in Hebrew, largely because he so admired the Masoretic, and used the Masoretic in his translation. Not sure if accurate.
I enjoyed reading this.
There are some proof errors.

Thanks! Great to know! All the more strange that Lutherans venerate the Masoretic!
