Did a virgin give birth in Isaiah's time?
No, a virgin did not give birth in Isaiah's time, nor did Isaiah even prophesy that a virgin would give birth.In the Hebrew Bible, Isaiah 7:14 said that "the young woman" would give birth, and the young woman in question did have a child a few verses later in Isaiah. However, the Septuagint (An early translation of the Hebrew Bible into the Greek language) incorrectly translated this to say that "a virgin" would conceive and bear a child. The author of the Gospel of Matthew relied on this mistranslation to show that it was prophesied that Jesus would be born of a virgin.
