re: #217 Alouette

Except that Isaiah does not mention a “virgin.” The word used is almah, which means a young woman (generic), and the Hebrew word for virgin is betulah.

True, though as a historical note, the NT authors used a variant of Septuagint which has “parthenos” (“virgin”) instead, which, while a mistranslation, is not an intentional one, since the Septuagint was translated by Jews for Jews.
