The greek translators must have agreed with the word "virgin".

The Septuagint is wrong in this passage.

Steven, do you think that scripture being inspired means that every translation of scripture is likewise inspired?

I have said this before that unless one believes that Hebrew is held to be the actual language of God, as Arabic is held to be by Muslims, then the 'translation" can held to be inspired through though by special inspiration. After all, the Hebrew was propably itself a "translation" of earlier works." and canonicity is really a matter of authority, not fact. The real dispute is not over a "mistranslation" but the doctrine of the Virgin Birth and the rationalist/Jewish contention that it is a fabrication.

I believe the Word of God was inspired when originally written. Translations are fallible. Do you think Matthew meant to say "young woman" as well? The fact that Matthew, almost 2,000 years ago, said virgin is enough for me. If he translated that verse to mean virgin I accept that. For what he wrote is the inspired word of God.

Perhaps I'm wrong,
but whenever Our L-rd Y'shua HaMashiach quotes the Tanach, He always quotes the LXX.

Our L-rd KNOWS the LXX is divinely inspired.
