I believe that the Greek translators of the original Areamaic New Testament aligned their translation with the Greek Septuagint since that was the version of the Old Testament with which they were familiar. Hence, when it seemed appropriate to them they used the Septuagint Greek wording as part of their interpretative translation of the Aramaic New Testament text.

In conrtasrt, the Peshitta tends to agree with the Aramaic Old Testament.
