In Context

12But Ahaz said, “I will not ask, neither will I tempt Adonai.”

14+ 7:14 a MP: A virgin female will conceive and bear a son, (combined with Gen 3:15, seed of a woman). Note on textual variations: Why a virgin female as compared to young female? In the Hebrew Masoretic text, the prophecy in Isaiah uses the Hebrew word almah [a woman of marriageable age] whereas the verse in Matthew uses the Greek word parthenos [a pure virgin or woman of marriageable age]. However the translators of the Greek Septuagint, which is older than any existing Hebrew text, used parthenos in their translation of the verse in Isaiah. Therefore the translators understood the verse in Isaiah as referring to a literal virgin birth. (Luke 1:27, 1:30-31) Therefore 'Adonay [Lord] himself will give you a sign. + 7:14. Quoted in Luke 2:34 Behold, the virgin will conceive, and bear a son, + 7:14 b MP: The name Immanu'el, meaning [God with us]. This is an attributed title, not his literal name. Consider (Is 8:7-8) also uses the Hebrew Immanu'el. (Matt 1:21-23; Col 2:9; Rev 21:3) and shall call his name + 7:14 c MP: Messiah is equal to God who sent him; Immanu'el, God with us. (John 12:45; Col 2:9) 'Immanu El [God is with us]. + 7:14. Quoted in Matt 1:23; Rev 21:3
