When He ascended on high.

The discrepancy between Ephesians 4:8 vs Psalm 68:18, gave or received gifts?
Eph 4:8
"When He ascended on high, He led captivity captive and GAVE gifts to men"
Ps 68:18 (both MT and LXX) has,
" . . . RECEIVED gifts among men, even from the rebellious."
(Check LXX again)
This problem is resolved only when Aramaic Peshitta is referred to. Peshitta uses "gave". I found a quote from the Syrian Peshitta as follows:
"You ascended on high; and you led captivity captive; and you *gave* gifts to the sons of men."
Were Paul and the early disciples using the Peshitta in their days?
