What was said
"Nonsense. Uh there was no single Jewish view of what counted as scripture. There were at least five different canonical traditions. Uh there was the uh Sadducee tradition, the Samaritan tradition, the Pharisee tradition, the Dead Sea Scrolls tradition, and the Septuagent tradition at a minimum."
Jimmy Akin argues that Second Temple-era Judaism did not have one consolidated canon, disputing claims that Jews never accepted the Apocrypha. He says there were at least five scriptural traditions, including Sadducee, Samaritan, Pharisee, Dead Sea Scrolls and Septuagint collections, with often unclear boundaries.
