It is the feminine form of עֶ֫לֶם ʿɛ́lɛm, which clearly means "young man." There is nothing there to indicate that a virgin is having a baby.
You've similarly misunderstood Isaiah 9:6, which is talking about the birth of the next king. The next king would be a righteous king, whereas his father was wicked.
Neither of these are messianic prophecies.
hi that’s interesting I didn’t know that there wasn’t a word virgin. I checked it and mostly says maiden, young woman (like u pointed out).
In Isa 9:6 How would you explain that this “son/child” will be called Immanuel. Also is it connected to Isa 7:14 the “son/child”?
עִמָּנוּאֵל
i got this from biblehub. It says “a man” also definition is “with us is G-D”
can you please enlighten me on this? Cos when I see how Isaiah writes: young woman will give birth to a son, he is mighty g-d, the everlasting father and will be called עִמָּנוּאֵל “a man” meaning g-d with us. The Christian view is that God will be born as a man. How would u interpret it?
