Phil,
If you check ancient translations of the New Testament such as the Syriac, I think you will find that they usually quote from their translation of the Old Testament rather than the Hebrew. This suggests that it was simply the custom to use the version the readers were most accustomed to.
Sincerely,
Michael Abernathy
