My old lexicon also points out, as does Jack Orbaum, that the customary word for `virgin' is bethulah, not `almah .
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.
.” So we see that the Greek word “chiefly” chosen by the Septuagint scholars to mean parthenos is the word bethulah , which Mr. Orbaum stresses is “the Hebrew word for virgin .” But the Jewish scholars of the Septuagint also chose the word parthenos to translate `almah in Isaiah 7:14, where one might have expected a less specific word.
It remains unclear to me on whom Mr. Orbaum would pin the blame for what he calls “the original mistranslation.”
