Wilson de Angelo Cunha asserts that the differences found between the Septuagint text of Isaiah and the Hebrew of the Masoretic Text must be weighed against the literary context in which each is found. Using the example of Isa 24:1–26:6, Cunha demonstrates that the Septuagint text can be seen as a coherent ideological composition that differs greatly from the way scholars have interpreted the Masoretic Text. The book lays the case that a scribe or translator already had an interpretation before he started translating the text that shaped his own work
