For those who think that Peshitta contradictory verses to Masoretic OT are paraphrasing.
I believe it is attempt to reconcile the irreconcilable.
For those who assert that Septuagint is copy of Greek NT by Origen to make it fit good.
I believe that both are just theories and wonder why they still live being just speculations.
Among many examples, lets look at these:
Matthew 12:21 - And in his name shall the gentiles hope.
It agrees with Peshitta, Peshitto, Greek, Latin.
Isaiah 42:4. Masoretic Text: He will not grow faint and not be crushed until he has set judgment in the earth, and for his law the islands shall wait.
I discovered it is in Ceriani_Veteris Testamentum (7a1) too.
Septuagint: He will shine forth and not be broken until he has set judgment upon the earth, and upon his name nations will hope.
If some believe that Septuagint was copied from Greek NT (which is possible)
then they have right to think that Peshitta was copied from Greek NT too.
One of them has to be taken as truth since it is a serious difference
and looks like a representation of the two antagonist ideologies.
