When we compare the Old Greek texts to the Hebrew texts, we note that the HEbrew texts show different stages of the development of language, different grammatical and vocabulary styles, etc, i. e. the evidence of multiple authors writing at different times. When we look at the Old Greek we note that the LXX (for which as a whole we have rather late evidence) appears far more uniform, suggesting that the Greek was made by a smaller group of people at roughly the same time in history. This is one that that points to the latter being a translation of the former.

We find the same thing in German translations of Shakespeare proving conclusively the English is the translation. We find it because the translation of each play was done at different times by different people for different purposes.

From this we see opposite conclusions can be drawn from the same evidence. The conclusion chosen is based upon the beliefs one brings to the discussion.
