How can you use “orbaum” in a sentence? Here are some example sentences to help you improve your vocabulary:
Jack Orbaum [EPISTOLAE, XVII, 4] wants to make readers aware of what he calls a “mistranslation” in the Bible.
Rebekah's virginity was never in question and she was referred to as ` almah , not betulah . Therefore, Mr. Orbaum is incorrect when he says that the Hebrew betulah “would have been used in the original had the young woman been a virgin.”
Now I feel compelled to respond to Jack Orbaum's interesting letter [EPISTOLAE, XVII, 4] about the “mistranslation” of the Hebrew word ` almah in Isaiah 7:14, which Mr. Orbaum says ought not be translated `virgin' but `young woman.
Mr. Orbaum is correct regarding the translation of the Hebrew word in Isaiah 7--the word ` almah means `young woman,' and also correct that the Hebrew word betulah means `virgin.
My old lexicon also points out, as does Jack Orbaum, that the customary word for `virgin' is bethulah, not `almah .
