Dear John,

 

The UBS4, UBS 3, NA27, etc, have lists that show from whence the quotations in the OT are in the NT. I would highly recommend Beale and Carson's, Commentary on the NEW Testament Use of the Old Testament, Grand Rapids: Baker Academic, 2007. It would answer a lot of the questions on this issue. Furthermore, the LXX was the "Bible" of the Jewish Diaspora. Thus, it made sense for Paul, Peter, et al to quote to Greek speaking believers.

 

Unfortunately, I have not read Tessa Rejak's book.
