Psalm 68.18
Septuagint

anabaV eiV uyoV, hcmalwteusaV aicmalwsian:  
elabeV domata en anqrwpw

New Testament - Ephesians 4.8

anabaV eiV uyoV, hcmalwteusen aicmalwsian:  
edwken domata toiV anqrwpoiV

Septuagint

Thou art gone up on high, thou hast led captivity captive, thou hast received gifts for man

New Testament

When he ascended on high, he led captivity captive, And gave gifts unto men

Masoretic Text

Thou hast ascended on high, thou hast led away captives; Thou hast received gifts among men

Comments:  The NT, LXX and the MT generally agree, but the NT author has changed the sense of the verb in the second clause from receiving to giving. 

One LXX manuscript, Codex Sinaiticus, brings the LXX and the NT slightly closer.  Sinaiticus reads “he led captivity captive” with the NT.
